Where did you steal the box of condoms? from a store of from someone else?
Food and anything small enough to hide like a toothbrushe or maybe a roll of toilet paper when I was homeless. Mostly went to Walmart, grocery store, mini-marts. Would dumpster dive if you consider that stealing.
Lighters were and still are a must and their too expensive especially for a necessity.

As a kid, i used to nick the milk money,
Then i used to nick their booze, they drank so much they never noticed,
As an Adult i have stolen every single sign for every bloody ward i have been locked up on, got quite a collection, i am also partial to road sighs (don't know why lol) & what i really want is a set of portable traffic lights for my back garden..
It has also been suggested that i get a magpie tattoo...

It was on an impulse when I had an "psycho" episode triggered by a quarrel with my SO, I RAN to the night store to buy something and there was no one, I called, waited and got so pissed at them that I just grab a first thing available and left. The thing happened to be a box of condoms lol. I felt guilty after but couldn't bring myself to go there and admit that I stole from them.
Yes, just little things mainly. Growing up poor I was always very low on things so it actually felt bordering on necessary at times but I realize it's wrong. Some people find nothing wrong with stealing, especially from a person who trusts them. I ran into many of these types in my youth. They weren't driven by addiction, they just didn't give a shit. I want your stuff and I'm going to take it.

As a kid I stole an fancy eraser from a shop :D
As an adult, I recently got into stealing self-service coffee... But I only did it 2 times so far. Coffee to go is just so expensive for that little amount you get...

I stupidly stole a pair of jeans when I was 18, and ended up getting arrested for it. Taken down to the station in a police car, mugshot, put in a cell, the whole nine yards. It was so humiliating that I never stole anything ever again.
Did you get prosecuted? How old are you now? I imagine if you didn't then it was pre-911 times, when you'd get a slap on the wrist. The 80s, drug laws, and 9/11 really changed how American law enforcement operated.

This was in 2003. I was prosecuted but I ended up getting it taken off my record because it was my first offense. I had to pay court fees and a fine, take a class, and do a couple weekends of community service.
Edited to add: The whole thing sucked so bad, that i've never even gotten as much as a speeding ticket since then, lol.

Some toys from my cousin's place when I was 6/7. Since then I never stole anything.
As a kid (35 years ago) $12-$24 from my parents.
Also ... dear god : I didn't have shame ... I stole $0.25 from a poor old person asking for money in the street. (7 years old or so)
Tried to steal 2 CD from a big mall. They caught me and a friend. With 15-16 years old.
As an adult (28 years old or so) I tried to steal a computer game. But at last I felt wasn't going to work and I left it.
I can't remember now if I succeeded in any other intent. After the last intent, I thought it wasn't meant for me. I'm too ignorant on how the things work.

I'm actually a professional criminal. Whenever I meet someone new, I steal the 'ugliest person they've ever seen' award. The police still haven't got me!
I still got mine ... What happens here?
at 14 - prepaid mobile phone vouchers- to friends and relatives only,
16 - some plush toys for my sister and girlfriend,
21-23 - lying to customers, they gave me the money. And doing the "impossible" - remembering the whole CC's numbers and data, while sliding /no cams or readers/. Just for the fun, some friends of mine couldn't believe it was possible, so i had to prove them wrong.
23-...till today - really expensive watches, laptops, clothes, cosmetics, and many many more...it's more like a hobby. Only really expensive stuff.
27-...till today - I made stealing a living and sometimes i wan't to stop.
What i write may be a lie. Anyway, what it is, i keep only for myself, i can and will always change the path of this story in any convenient way for me.

Like $10 from my sister, but that's it. It was actually 300 Thai Baht (she had just been backpacking). I was like "this will be awesome, 300 Thailand thingies" and was pissed to learn it was only worth ten bucks. I guess I had it coming though.
wow....your not bullshitting? how did you get away with it at 23? do you live in a developing country where they don't prosecute as much?
For a few years,shoplifting became a compulsion. If i left a store without having stolen a single thing,it felt as though I'd forgotten something really important. Often it wasn't even anything I even wanted and would go right in the bin. There were several cautions from the police and bans from stores but I could run back then.
I also stole from every workplace where I was employed. They were ALL pretty big companies with insurance that paid poorly and showed no appreciation for the workforce.
I have NEVER stolen from any individuals or independent businesses that I feel can't manage the impact.
Even as a long term drug user,I was never driven to that degree of desperation.

I stole a pack of gum when I was a kid. My grandma saw me and made me go back and tell the cashier and made a huge deal about how wrong it was. I was MORTIFIED but this memory stuck out to me so much that I never stole again. I am bipolar and can make dumb choices so 10 years later, I'm glad she did that for me.

As a child, a candy bar, some books, a few office supplies.
As an adult, nope.
As an adult, nope.
Why not? Stealing from companies/employers I thought would be though "less bad" (in some peoples morality), extremely stupid given the chance of getting caught with CCTV along with other records they have of stock/money.
If I was to steal, it would be the other way around. I couldn't imagine stealing from a store. I know a few lads who have stolen from family/friends/ ladies purses and I don't think any have ever gone to jail. One was reported to police (he stole from the purse of a friend) but there was just too little evidence for police to pursue.

Used to be a massive kelptomaniac as a kid, everytime my family went to a store I would always take something it could be from candy to toys. I kicked the habit once I went into adolescence.
The risk of detection and consequences were never a concern and in my mind,I'd earned that item/money.
Being insured or the ability/inability to afford that loss was the issue. The true value in respect of their financial status.
