Stealing Stories?

[Satchel O' Goodies]

One day, I went to buy some MTG cards. I browsed through some cards and decided to just buy a booster pack. I put em pack and went to ask for a booster pack. The clerk was a chubby dude and after I told him I wanted a booster, he said, how about the cards you were looking at? I said I put em back. He said, No you didn't. Let me check your pockets. Nothing in my pockets. He didn't even apologize. That made me pissed and I swore never to shop at that retailer ever again for the poor customer service quality.

One day at GW, my friend was playing when suddenly, he couldn't find his Tyranid Codex. He even wrote his name on it!!! Suddenly, another kid claimed that a chubby mexican dude came, saw the codex, took it and left. WTF!!!!!

Other stories? Lol, I wonder if any of you guys had these things happened to you.

A store I used to play at had a Display Case in the Gaming Room for a while that the regulars would use to keep some of their Models in, so we wouldn't have to haul them back and forth every week. I had two of my Chaos Lords and a Biker Champion stolen out of there, all heavily converted. I managed to get one of the Chaos Lords back eventually, but never did find out what happened to the other two Models.

That still makes me mad to this day. I put a lot of work into those dudes, scenic bases, scratch-built Lightning Claws, the best Paint Jobs I'd done at that point. If I ever do find out what happened to 'em, I can't guarantee the safety of that dude's kneecaps

There's no "yeah, I got caught stealing" or "I stole, but haven't been caught" option. Sadface.

A friend of mine who did steal from our GW (I don't advocate what he did, I just know he did it. And yes I know the way the law works, I realize my lack of ignorance makes me an accomplice in the eyes of the law via association) actually was accused of stealing from GW. Which was hilarious because they searched him and he had nothing. They tried to ban him from the store on grounds some little kid saw him taking something, which is a blatant lie because he was with me the whole time. Needless to say I looked like an ass being associated with him because some kid interpreted him actually looking at something as trying to rob the place. *shrug* it sucks getting called out on something you didn't do.

lol, anyone that steals my stuff might really want to buy insurance on their -censored-.
IDK if anyone will admit that they stole stuff and are continually stealing stuff right now. You could say, I NEVER STOLE ANYTHING! and..well, you know the deal. Basically, watching your stuff and seeing some small kid take your stuff is REALLY REALLY appealing=one little naughty thief down, and they lose their face as their mom finds out...blah blah blah

My game club is constantly trying to steal stuff from me.
Not the people but that actual club.
I constantly forget things.
That counts, right?

Cheers!

I remember once the local store had this rather weird bloke who turned up for a few weeks. He just ranted about converting and weird stuff for five minutes, then vanished.

Now, the store is above a local barber's, and the Barber was walking past the building when he noticed the lights were on and called the shop owner. Upon realising that no-one's meant to be up there, the police turned up, and found the guy with half of the display cabinet, including the Forgeworld dragon pro-painted, boxed up. Claimed he was collecting it for a game. Weird people...

My rulebook has had someone elses name in it for years, but I assume that guy must have my original one, and therefore it's not a big deal.

2 weeks ago I not-wittnesesd a live-steal.

we were playing a 5k pts per side mini apoc game and about halfway trough my team partner asks "Hey, ahve you seen my mobile?" and i go about "Why should I? Have you used it to proxy a rhino or what?". Apparently he had used it to calculate his list and then forgot about it lying around at the table edge off the gaming are about 1m away from us. He asked the store people and everyone else but noone had seen it so somene must have stolen it...

No, I have never been accused of stealing, But for some reason me and my friends have lost like 3 sets of templates and 4 scatter dice while at our local game store. Weird

I accidentally "stole" a set of 16 dice from a fellow player. He and I were the only ones that showed up at my LGS for a few weeks so I ended up playing against him a lot. I was using these tiny dice that came with the Pirates CCG (just because I didn't feel like hauling my dice bag around.)

We got to talking and I told him how GS sprues come with 2 skulls on them for who knows why. He thought they would be cool for conversions so he offered to trade me the dice for the 8 GS skulls I had. So he gave me the dice. The next week I couldn't play, can't remember why, it was like a year and a half ago. The follow week I show up with the skulls, guy is not there. Same the following week. He has yet to come back (while I was there) so I still have his dice and have brought those skulls every time I go to the store....

I think last year or two years ago: went to the 'ard boyz semis.

After playing all day I packed everything up and headed home. When I started to unload everything I realized I had taken a second rulebook on accident.

I called the store the next day leaving all of my information in case someone called. However, I have yet to have a phone call. I leave it in my house and the other one in my car, so it's great.

I've walked away with blast templates by accident. Same with opponents. Went to Baltimore with 2. Ended up with 0. Went to a RTT with 0. Ended up with 3
