y the hell is everyone shoplifting at Macy?(including me). Does Macy have special aura to it or something? i got caught shoplifting at Macy's too, it was like 5 years ago or something....it was a nightmare, the store detained me, and call my parents and they called a cop to send me home...****!.....u could imagine the reaction of my parents.....it still gives me the chill when i think about it!

I know its probably past done and everything, but I dont think the school cares much about our personal lives, only that we get a 3.0 and that we pay the money by the deadline that its due. As long as you dont get expelled from your school, which shouldn't happen since it doesn't involve the school at all, your in the clear and shouldn't worry much at all.

Thats a minor thing and the cops werent even involved so I guess it would fall under misdermenor maybe even minor infraction at most. So thats not that much of a big deal

Also..... Macy's is extremely hard to shoplift at trust me I have a close friend that use to work there... Unless you have an inside person to change the price of something its not worth going and even then you can jeapordize there job by doing so especially if they are new cause the Security people watch them more than experianced people..... it should have been Mervyns man... Mervyns.... gooo into the dressing room pick up some clothes head to a inexperianced and uncaring cashier, return the stuff for store credit, take that credit to a different Mervyns and by yourself something nice... Says it all on the internet.... amazing what you can find these days on the internet it really is.....

Not that you should do that or anything, thats just what I did in the past...

Like bananaslug said, just buy the friggin shirt. Stealing gets you nowhere in the real world, and when you get away with it the first time, you move on to something more expensive and more dangerous. Pretty soon you will be robbing banks and serving 10 years in prison... okay not really (hopefully) but you get the point. It is a silly thing to do. It is good that you learned your lesson, but it doesn't make sense that a smart guy like you would try to steal some crappy shirts (It is from Macy's) when in 6 years, you will have no problem paying for those shirts.

Just on a sidenote, I don't understand why this thread is one of the most popular threads on the UCSC forum as it has nothing to do with UCSC. If anywhere, it should be on the CC general college admission forum or the CC 'talk about anything' forum. I understand you happen to be going to UCSC next year, but I doubt this is a common problem kids attending UCSC go through.

ZeroK
