humanodon had the great idea for an askhubski thread about personal experiences with thievery while we talking about it here.
I was telling him about my friend who liked to pick-pocket without actually stealing anything, and the time I was picked by a senior citizen without realizing it until several hours later. I also had my favorite mountain bike stolen out of my garage, but there isn't any story to go along with that. It was just gone and I was very sad.
So lets hear about your experiences. What was the best thing you ever stole? What was the most heart-breaking thing to be taken from you?
