Do you think that stealing stuff is immoral? Is there a line between stealing big things and little things? Grabbing a couple of candies from the grocery store isn't stealing right? I mean, a little five finger discounting here and then might be good.

What's the difference between stealing candies or stealing a car? If you steal something, you stole. Period. A crime is a crime.

You really think so? I mean, if the law is flawed by nature, that means we don't always have to be adamantly within it's limits. For example, the other day, me and a certain female compatriot (name rhymes with fancy but i'm withholding anything else for her protection) moved some little plastic monkeys into another bag so that when we bought one bag, we would get six monkeys instead of three. All this while the original klepto man himself stood by unapprovingly. Is that unlawful?

I would actually categorize that as just rearranging. Getting more for your buck may not actually be stealing. You did buy something after all. It's akin to sticking more hot dog buns into another package to avoid the hot dog-bun equilibrium problem.

So there is a grey area somewhere.

I suppose so. What's the biggest thing you've stolen?

Um. A $3.99 turtle squirt gun from the Imaginarium.

Small timer. Wait till you steal a Porsche, then we'll talk.

Hit me up if you want a rearranged, possibly stolen, plastic monkey. Only three left and they're priced to go.
