It's when they overload themselves. I've had it happen when in a fight of flight situation. While not really similar to this, I noticed myself lose control when the situation was overwhelming me, which usually doesn't happen. I had been stealing from this supermarket chain from maybe 2 years always skimming a bit extra at the self service checkout, got a bit too ballsy and burned myself by making a mistake. I had paid for the majority of my cart so I just strolled out like it was nothing as I always do. But before I could get out, some assistant supervisor or one of those bullshit "bosses" came out and asked me to submit to a check. I couldn't stop repeating "what did you say?" before I just left the cart and ran out. I had prepared for that situation in my head but the day it really happened, it got the best of me. But I guess nothing came out of it because I didn't actually leave the store with shit I stole so in a way it was a blessing that they caught me. I live in a white area so we don't have loss prevention like Target, most of the people who steal don't skim off the top but grab high value items and pocket them, the cameras are always looking at them. I broke my rules and burned myself for being too bold, but at least I damage controlled the impact to the point where at this point now that time has passed and nobody has contacted me, I'm starting to think nobody actually had the time to start make anymore more of it. Had I stayed, they would've called security, the cops would've shown up, the cops would've maybe checked my pockets and found my knife that's considered illegal and then I would've lost that rather expensive Benchmade knife and gotten a ticket for thieving along with them knowing my identity. I'm not a master thief or anyone especially smart. I'm just glad to have it off my chest and realise I made the best of the worst situation. Thanks for reading my blog.
