Have you ever stolen something when you didn't mean to? I was just reminded of a library book that I once kept without realizing it. It got packed when we moved and I only realized what had happened several years later.
Aside from a quarter that I stole from my sister at about age ten, I believe the only other thing I've stolen was a cube of butter. It was the strangest thing. I had been working an ungodly number of hours.., perhaps thirty hours or more straight, and was on my way home from a job at about 11 PM or so, with an ~ 8 AM flight to Peru the next morning. On the way home, I stopped for a cube of butter. I walked into a 7-11, took the butter, and walked out. It didn't even dawn on me until I was a mile or two down the road what I had just done! Imagine if someone had noticed and I had been caught on camera; getting busted for stealing a cube of butter. As near as I can remember, there were a few people in the store at the time and no one noticed me coming or going. What really struck me as being strange was how easy it was.
