Message: [QUOTE="Jmsdawg, post: 3337469, member: 9243"] Got to chime in here. I have shoplifted before. When I was in the fourth grade my cousin and I stole candy from a store quite often. The man, Mr Sam, who owned the store had his son who also was a fourth grader ask me to come to the store and talk with him. I knew what he wanted and thought he would tell the cops, the cops would take me home and my dad would take care of me with the belt but that is not what happened. I went to talk with Mr. Sam and he told me he had seen me steal candy but he was not going to call the cops, he gave me two choices, never come in the store again or work off the candy by cleaning the store every day for one week. I choose to Work. When the week was over Mr. Sam offered me a job working in the store. I accepted. My cousin thought that was great, now he could steal candy and know I would never tell. He did steal and I did not tell. I followed him out of the store and he and I fought, I returned the candy. Mr. Sam saw it all but said nothing. The next my cousin came into the store and confessed that he had stole from the store. Mr. Sam offered him the same deal and he accepted. Last time I ever stole anything. Hope this young lady finds her Mr. Sam. [/QUOTE]
