"I've done 6 of them
Six! You're a one person crime wave. "
 maybe I should be ashamed.... But I'm not 
I've only done one recently and that was not pay for fare on public transport. We were in Blackpool and there wasn't a ticket machine and no one to collect tickets so we could pay, so I didn't do it intentionally, it wasn't premeditated. |

I was buying booze for a house party one night, bought a pack of 12 koppaberg ( the ones that are supposed to be broken down)
Only charged me for one  |

Actually the other day I bought a tiny pumpkin carving knife set which was a quid, scanned it and the red light came on the self serve, I'd already put it in my basket and the next thing that was in my hand which I was about to scan was the 12 quid pack of Venus razor blades. The woman came over and took the security seal off my razors and put them in my basket. I didn't say anything |

Done most of the stuff on the list,only a few weeks ago I scanned 30 odd quids worth of shopping through the self service till n it 'Malfunctioned' just as I was about to pay.
I looked about for a staff member to assist me but none were to be seen so I just picked up my shopping n waltzed out...great things those help yourself service tills!
More a common criminal than a micro criminal  |

I'd have done the same as you if I'm being honest as the price of decent blades is ridiculous |
