I really needed a new pair of shoes. I lost my job two months ago(im only 16). I figured i could try to steal a pair it wouldn't be that hard.
So i rode my bike to Kohl's. But i figured while im here i auta try to pickup a shirt and pants, cuz my cloths are running low. I pick up a 22 dollar pair of pants anhd 20 dollar shirt(also i grabbed 2 of the 20 dollar shirt and stuffed one without a hangar into the other) and go into the dressing room, and while walking in i read a sign that said, there are hidden electronic tags on the clothes. The same sign was in the dressing room.
So im like whatever ill have to find the tag and take it off. I tore off all the little sales tags on the jeans and this little plastic rubber stitch in the jeans. Im turning the pair of jeans inside out wondering where the hell could this tag be, i dont think any of those things are the tag.
Meanwhile im hearing all these urgent codes over the PA. I don't think anything of it. Then i hear someone telling security to go to the dressing room. Im like holy shit **** this i gotta go. Then i hear a lady go "Did you call 911." "Yes."
Im scared shitless at this point, i turn the jeans rightside in grab the clothes and walk out cassually. This huge ****in black guy is starin at me, and this lady. I stare back for a moment and then just walk around them. The lady continues to follow me, i put the clothes on some random racks and walk outt he store. When i go pass the anti-theft machine she sorta just stares like she exspects it to go off.
I go outside she follows me right next to me, i dont say anything to her i just glance at her like "What the ****,:" I grabbed my bike and booked it down the highway, going as fast as i can until i got home.
Anyone know how the hell they caught me? Did security see me stuffing that second shirt in the orignal shirt? Or did that little plastic stitch actually be a tag that went off when i broke it? How the hell did it go off? Do they have sensors in the dressing room?
1 more thing. I am not scum or lowlife, i could only steal from a department, corporate store. I could never steal from an individual or a local, community store, it's morally wrong.
Im trying to fight the corporate fat cats.
Whose logo-emblazoned trainers, pants and shirts you're so desperate to wear.
You f*cking idiot.

I hate insulting people unless they really deserve it but you're a prick. Don't expect to come into KMC community and get some help from us because I am against stealing like that. You said you are 16 and running low on clothes and lost your job. Where the hell are you parents in this? Get a new job before you become a freaking felon and spend your years in jail.
rather then bash you, I'll try to explain why its stupid to steal from them...
1) cameras... They have cameras watching you shop, Most are good enough to read the tags your trying to rip off.... theres not alot that they don't see.. Specially when there an amateur like you.. Even the pros find it hard not to be seen...
2) Tags... Depending on the tags, some know when they have been taken off without the special machine todo it.. some even spay colour ink on you (brightly coloured) so its obvious you have been tampering...
3) dressing rooms, How many people have done the old dressing room trick... staff are alert too it and probably let it happen just so they can buy some time for the cops to come... theres probably cameras in there aswell...
Don't steal... It won't stop the "fat cats" if you do get away with it the fat cats will just raise the prices so the suckers who do pay for the clothes will have to pay for the ones you took aswell... there not going to go out of business cause 1 rebel without a cause stole $50 of clothing(probably cost them $10 to get to the shelves)
Wow, you're an idiot. You actually think it isn't morally wrong to steal from a large chain? Where do you come off? Behind those huge faceless corporations is a person just like you, me and those local store owners. You lost a job? Bad luck. That doesn't entitle you to steal. Here's an idea for you. Try to get another job.
Gender: Male Location: Southern Oregon,
Looking at you.
If you steel from any one, you steel from every one. Do you think that that big corp. just eat the loss, no. People like me, and everyone else here, including you, has to pay a higher price for what we buy because of idiots like you. Stop before you ruin your life.
I saw four sixteen year old girls running out the "In" Door of Wal-Mart one time with a bunch of unpaid shoes as I was entering the store. I was taken a little off guard, and at first I thought they were just being typical brainless teens. Not sticking my foot out has always been one of my biggest regrets in life.
I would have loved to see one of them go head first into one of the claw machines.
