I was so guilt-ridden that the next week I went back and slipped a 50 cent piece under the bottles of nail polish. (Note that I was not so guilt-ridden that I confessed my crime!)

I also stole something when I was a teenager. It was in Wichita, Kansas, at a Cranks Drug Store. Cranks was similar to the Walgreens of today. I was looking at lipstick and saw a color I liked. However, I had the same brand of lipstick in my purse so I got my lipstick out to make sure I wasn't buying the same color. It was the exact same color so I put my lipstick back in my purse and went home. Later that day I was looking for something in my purse and, lo and behold, I had 2 lipsticks in there! I had accidently stolen the tube at the drugstore!
I was horrified and scared to death. I immediately went back to the drugstore, discreetly put the "stolen" lipstick back in the counter display, and quickly left...all the while being petrified the store police were watching and ready to arrest me. Whew!
