I got caught stealing from my local walmart. Im not gonna lie, i was good at stealing. I did it alot and got away with it. I was able to steal the 50$ video games behind the glass cases and everything. This all happned when i was 14, im 16 now.
I got caught april 1st 2004, ill never forget it
We would steal memory card's, because they were easy to open and worth alot. We pocceted maybe 20 of them. My friend took 20 of them himself. It took us over a period of 3 hour's but we played it off real nice. we periodicly had conversation's with worker's, we played the sample games they had out we just looked like bored 14 year old's every once in a while we round the store. we had done this routine at alot of places. One me an Retro were finished we started to leave. We were walking out of the door when theese 2 fat white guys tapped our shoulders and bum rushed us to the ground. I seriously thought i was about to be kidnapped and raped. I resisted all i could, so did retro. We beat the living shit out of those 2 guy's until some more ran at us screaming "WALMART SECUIRTY". There wa sno use in running because I know with how bad we ****ed up the Pig's we would be on the new's or something. so we gave in, and when we got in they started harrasing us. I was wearing blue white and blacc bead's at the time so they identified me as a gang member. (Original harlem rolling 30's crip's ! Poplar grove Baltimore stand the **** up!). They called us "New breed's of criminal" and i recall one calling me "bastard". I didnt think much of it seeing as we just whooped their asses and they were 3 times our size and probly twice our age. We only cleared some of the merchandise out of our poccet's, took a picture of the merchandise and printed a recipt for it and had collected our trash. Then they started asking us bullshit questions like if we were trading our merchandise in for drug's or that kind of BS.
A Cop came, he searched us and for some reason didnt feel the 10 memory card's at the bottom of our pant's. The guys at wallmart were about to takeour picture when the cop stopped them and said "Theese guys are under age you cant take their picture". At this point, i have been sitting down for 2 hours and wanted to stretch. I got up and they threatened to attac me if i did not return to my seat. They took my cruscifiction (cross) sp?)) and that was a good lucc charm my grandpa gave me before he did. i felt uncomfortable without it, very uncomfortable. I asked for it back and they refused. they then made an accurate phisical discription of myself asking for my age, height, weight and whatnot (because they cant take a photo of me) i had to sign a paper and was not allowed to read it when i requested to read it before signing.
They then took retro our of the room, he got sent to the PD because his parents could not picc him up, so after they finished working they would get him from a holding cell or something and take him home.
My father came and picced me up, and like a usual parent he beat my ass on the spot with the wal mart LP cheering him on to "Beat your son's ass". I went home, told my dad the truth. My dad beat the living shit of me.. and other disciplinary actions that parents do..
About a week later i got a letter from walmart where the doubled the price of what i was caught with and requested it to be paid with all of those court threats etc.. etc.. I paid the fee's to my dad in cash, he paid for me with checc.
I then went to DJS(department juvenile services) they said they wouldent press any charges on me if i paid 200$ and took some kind of diversion course. It was great, the teacher never taught us anything most of us just went outside and smoked for most of class. AT the end we wrote a letter to our social worker on what we learned. I then got a letter personally from my social worker at the county saying it has been sponged off my record.
After this, i got arrested another time on Possesion with intent to distribute and agrivated assault etc.. went through a similiar process and got it sponged
Where am i now? Im 16 and i no longer live in the housing project's of baltimore city. I live in the suburbs with my parent's, far away from gang life. havnt been arrested once since i got here and i work in non commisioned sales at best buy. My record was sponged as promised. I stealed for the thrill, not for the item's. I dont steal anymore.
I hope this somewhat discriped the procedure
