"I've never taken anything from a store or a friend unless by accident, like one time, I took my friends purse because our purses are identical except one is lighter (hers) and one is darker. They are denim. We were at Knott's and we went on the Log Ride and it got wet so it was dark denim and I thought it was mine. I gave it back when I opened it and it had her stuff in it! But yesterday, I was at WalMart and 3 teenage gang bangers were there and they tried to take a DVD and forgot to try to take off the security label! They got arrested when I was there. It was funny because the police were trying to fit all 3 of them in the back of the car. They were laughing (the police) because the larger guy didn't fit! And another time I was at Wal-Mart, a girl who was like 13 or 14 took some DVDs (or actually VHSs it was a long time ago) and a watch and some other jewelry. The police came and she was upset and her mom and sister were there and her little sister who was like 10 was crying and the mom was like "That's why you don't steal" it was so sad!"

My parents started "Interrogating" me where it came from, so that night my parents made me go to Bath & Body Works to confess I did it, and I was terrified! I thought I was going to go to jail, LOL, because my dad told me all about people who stole and got in huge trouble for it, so I told the lady, and I started crying after it.
