15+ Times People Accidentally Stole Something

Stealing is pretty bad — I mean, it pretty much says exactly that in the Bible which is pretty serious...sort of.

So, from woodland folk not understanding the rules of ownership to people being punished for accidentally stealing toothpaste, here are 15+ times people accidentally stole something...with a few people who knew exactly what they were doing for good measure!

In Case Of Fire...

"Where the hell is the extinguisher?!"

"Well, you know, I got a bit thirsty, I did replace it with a bottle of water though!"

"Jesus, Dave, have you been drinking fire extinguishers again?!"

"I have a problem, okay!"

"Stole my daughter's hair extensions. Now I got a fresh new skullet, brother!"

I feel like this guy is about to start a new career as an amateur wrestler thanks to this amazing look!

"A spider stole my lego sword. Should I be scared?!"

Quite frankly, I am amazed that they got this close to this ferocious beast! The house belongs to the sword-wielding spider now.

"Dear person who stole my plant..."

So there are plant thieves around now? Who knew? Plants can't be that expensive surely? I know nothing about the plant market, and it's showing.

"I live in Brighton and this was recently posted on the 'Cats of Hanover' Facebook group. All must hail the underwear thief."

Sure, they're blaming the cat. I know the real story, that cat is innocent and these people just get a kick out of stealing underwear!

"My friend was drunk one night and stole a wet floor sign. He's drunk again but decided to return the sign."

So what I am getting from this is that the guy who stole this turns into a bee whenever he is drunk, what a strange superpower.

"My cat stole my neighbor's lunch off of his front step and brought it back to me as if it were wild game."

"Come on, John, open the damn door already! Quick before the neighbour sees, do you want some of this sausage or not?"

"Borrowed a pen at the court house."

If anything, this would just make me want to steal the pen more. Sure, I could make one of them of my own, but who has the time?!

"Days worth of dirty diapers for whoever keeps stealing packages off our porch."

"Excuse me, I'd like to return these diapers to you, I thought I was stealing something more interesting but I don't want these."

"Seriously?"

"Laundromat mixup..."

The fact that their ex thought that he would have washed a stranger's pants after they had left them behind in his flat is pretty strange as well.

"Sarah (dog) stole a bite of Stella's food and Stella came running to me in the kitchen to literally bitch about it."

I am sure that Sarah didn't mean to steal some of Stella's food! Although, she does look awful guilty back there.

"Didn't notice until after I stole the pen. Good work Jerry."

I don't think that anyone has ever returned a pen to a bartender after borrowing it. You've made yourself a target with these tasty pens Jerry, we're coming for them.

"Joke's on you, I don't need arms to pinch a loaf."

Something tells me that Vince has had previous experience with loaves of bread in the toilet for him to be so incensed by this weird prank!

"My cat occasionally visits our neighbors. Today she came back with a little snack."

Looks like you have got a full chicken for tea! I mean, it's not like the neighbours are going to want it now!

Returning "Stolen" Name Badges...

This ex-Target employee explained, "I used to work at target 4 years ago and I was notorious for forgetting my name badge and 'borrowing' someone else's. Just Found these. Lmk if you want your name badge back."

"Forgot to bring my sunglasses to work. Only pair I had in my car were my toddler's."

He is puling those off remarkably well. I am just amazed that they fit on his head, I have a massive head so the possibility of getting child-sized sunglasses on my head would be nonexistent.

"Found this note in my bathroom drawer after my dad tried to borrow toothpaste."

So, instead of stealing toothpaste, he accidentally stole some Vagisil. Well, he got his comeuppance for his crime a least!

"Bruh, can I borrow your tatts for my tinder pic?"

"So, the tattoos you had on your picture..."

"Yeah, they came off in a hot wash, nightmare right?"

"The Chapstick Thief strikes again, except this time she's saving it for dinner later."

Mmmm, nothing like the tasty and nutritional taste of chapstick for dinner. Probably more nutritious than the dry pasta that our cat hoards and eats though.

"This jerk stole my pizza."

Squirrels don't have any concept of ownership, so you can't blame this little guy! Also, that must be a feast for him, it's a slice of pizza the size of his entire body, the dream!
