I realize you may have had no choice in what you did from your point of view Dana, but just to say a little more on the whole supermarket chain not being personal; what about how theft puts the prices up for those people who are already stuggling to put food on the table legally? In that way, it's as good as stealing from people directly.

Personally I don't have that much of an issue with kids stealing. A lot of kids will do it once or twice, and usually get caught or just go home and feel so shamed they never do it again. For some kids it's part of the learning curve. I know when I was little, I took a couple of 1 cent lollies off the counter when no one was looking, but it was never something I would have contemplated as an adult. I just find it odd that you don't think what you've done was wrong or that it didn't harm anyone. It did mate, whether you need to tell yourself otherwise or not.
