Are you kidding? I am the classic goodie two-shoes. Once, when I was about five or six, I got a bag of Skittles while shopping with with my mother. I forgot to show it to the cashier, and we walked out. Mom noticed the bag when we got to the car and said, "Did she see you with those?" I told her I forgot and so Mom went back inside and paid for it. Even though things were all cool and Mom reminded me to always make sure the cashier sees everything, I had nightmares where I'd forget to pay for an item and be arrested. To this day I'm still a little paranoid about making sure everything in my cart is accounted for, and I keep a close eye on my son to make sure he doesn't grab anything at the last minute.
In short, no, I have never stolen anything. If I did, I'd feel so guilty that I'd turn myself in within a week.
