Stealing from the game store.

>stealing from the game store.

I'd like to stay a innocent lad and believe no one would do such a thing.

I stole stuff from GW stores. Very easy to do.

Still stupid though, and this is coming from a guy who probably committed grand larceny at a dollar store.

It's not a very complicated story. Did this shit the entire time I was in High School with a group of friends and never got in trouble. I did get busted once but they just told me to put the "one thing I had back" and told me not to do it again.
I waited a month before starting up again and never had any more trouble.
I bet it was my fucking asshole "friend" that busted us. It was the first time we'd brought him along and, looking back, he was a real fucking white knight sissy boi. I bet he wimped out and ratted us out to "ease his conscience".

I've stolen from a Games Workshop.

I accidentally took a codex I was borrowing because I forgot mine, and brought it back the next week after calling the store to explain the situation.

>>54739247
Good on you anon. I may not like GW but I just can't be mad at the shop owners, for every time one closes it feels like a funeral.

>>54739023
There's nothing in a GW store worth jail time, even after the markups.

>>54738804

>Stealing from a dollar store

What was it like growing up in the lower caste?

>>54740716
Pretty fuck good. Too much beef jerky to handle, but there's worse things in life I guess.

>>54738918
Feel this. Lucky to live in an area with good LGS, I would never do them wrong and I've many times just bought shit to support them. The local GW store sucked and the moment I walked in the guy followed me around asking me what I modeled with and making fun of my answers just trying to sell me marked up shit. I ended up just putting paints and characters in my pockets right in front of the dude I guess he was too shook to say something? Anyways they closed and the local mom and pop LGS is better off without their competition anyway.

>mfw when my looted wagon carries my looted warboss

>>54738945
Like I said, it's easy to do. If they don't want me stealing stuff, they should make it more difficult to do. I could not give less of a fuck about the ethics of stealing from a multi-million dollar company.

I wouldn't steal from the LGS, but I just don't ever get anything from there at all.

>>54740002
Oh god, I hardly ever put my lands back into the big box of drafting lands. I'm a monster.

>>54742406
So easy. I even made him unlock the paint case for me and just started taking shit.

The rest of the times I would just grab those metal blister packs for HQs and such. I woulda felt bad if it was the city GW tho they were always cool during tournaments. Glad I didnt jack them.

My personal favorite score is one of those collectible Imperial Space Marines from earlier this year.

ITT: Anon learns that black people play 40k too.

Started stealing when the owner of a LGS outed himself as a total cunt.
Stealing an mtg pack, finding a fetchland in it and selling it back to him is one of my fondest memories.

I'll never steal from the LGS I go to now, they're bros.

Jesus, I wasn't even thinking of stealing from other players, now that's just cruel.

Never said I was justified. And they never wronged me personally, just a ton of other players and destroyed/drove away two game communities.

I assumed shitty behavior, card theft, model theft, book theft, and general hazing rituals more complex than just being beat up in a shower occurred at gamestores. So to me about 1/3 of all gamestore regulars are just terrible people overall and WILL shit where they eat.

I stole an old 40k basing kit, but not all at once. it was one of those packages that was mysteriously open, so I nicked some of the resin bits. came back the next month, took some more.
repeat until the whole thing was empty

For a big company it's less hassle to write off stolen stock (that's most likely insured anyway) than to risk shopkeep getting into fisticuffs with the thief either getting injured and subsequent legal ramification.

I'm hauling laptops starting at 1k a piece and I'm contractually obliged to hand them over without resistance if mugged.

I dont care what autistic fedora-knight code of morals you imagine you subscribe to, you don't snitch on a friend, ever. That violates some very core/primal ideas of tribe and community (yes, much more than theft) and thankfully alot of people dont let that fly in the real world.

I robbed a store of a ton of shit back in the 90s when the shithead who ran the place behind the front of the girlfriend started beating her up when she wanted out of the relationship.

I also snitched out a friend, when he was stalking his ex-girlfriend so I could chummy up to her and get laid.

>>54748103

I bet you're the kind of person that says 'snitches get stitches' when you do something wrong.

>>54752680
Yeah, how dare the new guy have a conscience, what a faggot amirite?

Thought about it a few times, took some stuff, but felt really guilty and put it back the next week. I'm trying to figure out if I should leave an envelope with money for the store owner or something because I want to make things right but not get banned. I'm working on being a better person and want to prove to myself that I can change.

>>54756747
>>54752680
We made it clear what we were going to do before inviting him. He still choose not only to go with us but to help despite knowing our intentions. We never forced him and we even told him that he didn't have to take anything or even go inside if he didn't feel comfortable with the whole thing.
If he wants to be a snitch after all that then yeah, I'm going to call him mean names on the Cambodian tree pruning forum.

Being the one Lawful Good character in a party of Chaotic Evils is just as bad as being the one Chaotic Evil in a party of Lawful Goods. If he didn't want to play in our game, he shouldn't of chosen to sit down at our table after we told him about our campaign and party.

>inb4 y-you peer pressured him into it!
Naw, fuck right off. That shit's for asses more faggot than ours. We gave him every chance to say no and he said yes every time.

>>54756686
I bet you were the kind of kid who ratted out everyone else in your group whenever you all fucked up just for a slice of that sweet snitch immunity. You're no more innocent than anyone else but when you see an opportunity to save your own ass you suddenly "grow a conscience" and act the saint, whatever the cost to your "friends".

There's a reason no one likes snitches, anon. Each one, without fail, is only out to save their own skin, not to "ease their conscience" or whatever bullshit they'll come up with after the fact.

>>54757133
>No one likes snitches
Most people aren't degenerate thieves who deserve to be punished. most of us have no problem with "snitches" because we're good people who want constructive communities. We don't want thieves among us because we value our community above our own selfish desires.

Do you why they say "There's no honour among thieves"? Because any one who had any honour would not be a thief. You're all corrupt, degenerate people who have decided they're entitled to take from other people, so taking from another thief is in their nature. You just want to blame the person who pointed out your crime because you cannot accept you are responsible for your criminal actions. You're avoiding responsibility and acting like a child.

Do the world a favour and steal a rope. Use it as a necklace and jump off a chair. You're scum and deserve to hang for it.

>>54757291
>this is what lawfags actually believe
YHWH please leave. Absolute morality enforced purely through fear of punishment and retribution is just as "just" as a fascist's pistol pressed up against one's head.

Actions should have consequences, yes, but the freedom to commit a crime should never be infringed as the definition of crime and morality will invariably differ, by some degree, from person to person; what may be perfectly moral to one man may not be so to another. Our current society functions only by taking into account this subjective nature of morality and the freedom that comes along with it.
Any community that restricts such freedoms and enforces a singular morale code is not a "constructive community", it's a tyrannic one that seeks to reduce humanity to machinery - full stop.

>You just want to blame the person who pointed out your crime because you cannot accept you are responsible for your criminal actions.
Aside from non-premeditated crimes, most crime is simply calculated risk-taking. Most people who accept the odds for a net-positive result of a crime assume responsibility for fucking up when they decide to go through with said crime. Accepting the fact you could come out behind on any gamble is part of placing your bets, anon.
>You're avoiding responsibility and acting like a child.
I've already accepted my punishment as any responsible criminal would. Y'know what? Even after I was caught, I still feel like I came out ahead. $500 worth of free merchandise all for a "stern" 30 second talking to? Yeah, I REALLY fucked up. If only I'd of been more moral.

>Do the world a favour and steal a rope.
>favour
Ah, the Queen's English is it? Well, if you're British that would explain a whole lot about views on morality. I'd tell you to slit your wrists but then Big Brother Elizabeth probably already had you bin your knife a long time ago. Better safe than sorry! After all, safety should always be more important than one's freedom, eh my ol' chap?

What's wrong with being a thief? You still haven't told me anything other than "a bloo bloo I don't like 'em cuz they're bad!" Maybe you should justify your morality instead?
>You'd be salty as fuck if someone stole your shit
You seem more salty than me, bub. Plus, I've had people steal my shit, and while it sucks, that's just the price to pay to for freedom. It wouldn't be truly free if everyone wasn't on level ground when it came to their freedoms and that's the whole point; you're just as free to snitch on me for committing a crime as I am to commit a crime, have a crime committed on/to me, or call you a snitch faggot for ratting me out.
>and you're still blatantly [salty]
Even if I was, I know life should have ups and downs - it wouldn't be enjoyable otherwise. A constant high is just as bad as a constant low, m80.

>>It's ok when I do it
>That's a pretty childish way of seeing the world.
Never said that first bit, but I guess that's just an example of you know being able to comprehend another's views. And you plan to live in a perfect lawful society where everyone agrees on everything and thus the question of morality never arises... how? How do you plan to do that if you can't even understand one person's viewpoints?
Do you just plan on "doing away" with everyone whose views you don't agree with? How moral of you, anon. I'm shocked!

The view's your espousing are entirely unrealistic and yet you still have the gall to call me childish? I'd call it ironic if I didn't find it so horribly sad.

>>herpaderpadoo morality is a facists gun to your head
>Ok mr melodramatic douchebag
Don't you have some boots to lick, guv'nah? They should be kicking in your door any second since you've assuredly committed at least one crime in your life by SOMEBODY'S definition. Oh well, I'm sure that "constructive community" you've constructed in your dreams can wait till after you talk to the ol' bobbies.

>>54758002
Nigga if you'd care about thieves so much gimme your credit card number, or at least send me some money

I could really use it for my kids

I legit had someone in the store I work at tell me he didn't find it bad to steal GW products from a any store that carries them because he felt he was hurting GW.

I had to explain to him that the store has to pay to get that item in in the first place, and if the store wants it to be replaced, they have to pay for it again. What's more, most people who walk into my store are stupid faggots who when asked "Are you looking for anything today?", they'll answer "I'm just browsing, thanks." when they clearly know exactly what they're looking for, and when they don't find what they're looking for, they won't even mention it. That means that until inventory happens, this missing item will go unnoticed for a while or until there's some reason to look for it. That means less sales for the store as well.

TL;DR don't be a fucking faggot and steal shit because you have some absolutely retarded resentment against a brand.

>>54758976
Sorry m8, even thieves gotta work to put bread on the table. No freebies in life I'm sorry to say.

>>54756686

>>54758087

Not him, but I have to say that snitches are the absolute worst. This little rat-fuck would try to get me in trouble at every chance he could get. Mind you, I never did anything that was outside of the rules. The closest thing was hoarding spoons from the mess hall and from rations. yes, I like spoons. Shut up.

Anyways, due to circumstances, we were all rounded up into a mod tent and not allowed to speak to each other for some goddamned reason. He pushed me over into a box of rations and passed it off as an accident. I managed to get someone's attention without speaking great guy. He was making a home brew d&d campaign when he was in garrison, bless his heart. rat fink gives me a weird look and asks me "how did you get back up?" So I know that his shit was intentional. Everyone got told to shut up, I beat him with a spoon and we all go home.

TL;DR snitches are fucking awful people.

>>54759146
The spoon beating happens later, when no one was really watching. I was playing with my spoons, he tries to take it from me, thinking he'll show off his pro disarming skills or something and gets hit with a spoon for his trouble.

Friend of mine used to steal magic boosters from the flgs. He got caught and they banned him. We had a long talk afterwards about why stealing is wrong and how it hurts booths stores and consumers. He stopped stealing after that. Store still didn't let him back in.
Years later, I started playing 40k. Friend's brother starts playing as well. Friend sees our armies and wants to play too. He can't due to there only being one game store in the area. Friend gives his brother some money and asks him to buy well over a two thousand dollars worth of necrons for him. Keep in mind, this was early 2000's.
Owner asks for friend to drop by the store so they can talk. friend gives an apology. Given that he just dropped a load on a 40k army, the owner considers everything to be square and calls it good.

We play there for a couple months and then friend looses interest. He hasnt been back to the store in over ten years.

Not much of a story, but that's all I have.

>>54759327
Owner seems decent. Good to see that he was able to be a reasonable person when your friend changed his ways. I imagine greasing the wheels didn't hurt, but still.

No, the law is the law is the law; freedom is not absolute, nor should it be. You have the freedom to act lawfully, and not to ignore it at your impulsive when because you're some special snowflake cunt.

I'm just posting here for the people who are incredulous about the plastic mens stealing.

I've been to Goodwills, Salvation Armies, and VA Resale stores that have problems with theft.

Lemme just repeat that: people steal from donation stores set up to help the poor.

>>54759586
This; if you're going to be a thief, at least be a marginally honorable one.

>>54759586
At least poor people stealing necessities have limited justification in that they need clothes and stuff to not be freezing their ass off naked.
People who steal literal luxuries from plastic crack dealers deserve whatever mockery they get, because they're stealing for the sake of an expensive, unnecessary hobby.
I mean, a thief can steal a suit to get a job at a firm and then try to make up for it by donating the difference to charity, but what the hell are you going to accomplish by putting a Spess Mahrine in your jacket pocket? 40K Children's Charity?
>Let's make sure the far future of children on Terra is not a grimdark one!
Oh, and whoever steals from Goodwill for teenage-tier kicks, I hope you get run over by a bus.

>>54755189
Snitches are better than thieves, dumbass

The problem is that people have a hard time accepting is that engaging a hobby is a privilege not a right.

>>54759679
I used to work at a thrift store, and I honestly wouldn't mind thieves if they wouldn't all make a goddamned fucking mess in the store.

>actually supporting fucking snitches
Thieves are pieces of shit but nothing is worse than betrayal. I really feel like you people haven't had much in the way of deep bonds of loyalty.

I think the punishment for theft should not be fine or a jailtime.

Instead, it should be being logged in a database of people it's fair game for anyone to steal from with no legal repercussions.

Enjoy trying to protect your property, buddy.

Knowledge of a friend committing a crime forces you to betray them or society at large, so snitching can be perfectly justified if you aren't terribly close and you consider yourself a part of the society more than an ally of your criminal friend.

Violating property rights is in fact the second worst thing a human being can do to another barring violence, so breaking ties with such subhumans and reporting to them to authorities isn't a bad thing at all unless they are family or a very long time friend I'm which case yo ushould do your best to correct thier behavior

Shunning? Public humiliation? Cuckolding? Deprival of other core rights? Destruction of status? Deprivation of basic needs?

There is no point in stealing from Games Workshop. Its the only place you can play warhammer, hang out, paint your mini's and do all the fun stuff you do there.

No store, no place to hang out and play games. Your not paying for the plastic, you're paying for the staff and space.

>>54760453
When you exploit goodwill, you fundamentally erode the part of our culture that allows for good will. You create mistrust and disdain for the very idea of faith in our fellow man.

It probably won't hurt you personally, but it's ethically an evil thing to do that almost inevitably has serious lasting consequences - just not for you.

about the only thing you could do with a truckfull of warhammer stuff is set up a store that sells warhammer merchandise. Which would be fucking pointless, cause then you'd get caught.

Even showing up at a Warhammer Store or Gaming convention with tons of warhammer stuff would get you busted.

Its literally the most useless thing in the world to steal, cause you can't sell it or play with it without getting busted.

What kind of fucking DUMBASS steals gaming merchandise? Is this really the kind of fucking person we want hanging around in our stores?

>>54760522
Yeah, before the pre-release. i thought he still had to pay for it.

>>54760548
He's allowed to pick it up (thursday) before he pays for it (saturday).
This constitutes an act of goodwill; otherwise he would've been forced to wait until release day (saturday) to pick it up.

He's moving away on Friday, and will never set foot in the town again anyway.

Ergo, he can simply drive off with the shit without paying. Doing so would be a violation of said act of good will, making that/those employees more distrustful and less likely to do something like that in the future.

What part of this is difficult for you to understand?

>>54760393
>>54760520

Most of those are either fine (shunning, no one is obligated to deal with you, at worst it's uncivil when done as a way of bullying rather than simple aversion) or fall under contract violation (cheating, most cases of public humiliation, ect) which is thing number 3.

All bad things fall under unjustified violence > property violation > contract violation > being a cunt

Maslow's pyramid is not only a meme but also irrelevant to morality in the first place, as immorality is not really based fundementally on the harm it does to the victim as that can't be measured or conceived of reliably, it is based on what level of the social contract is being violated. It is obviously possible for a very severe contract violation to be worse than a minor theft but we have to assume that each example we're measuring is of as equal as possible severity inside its own category to really have a conversation comparing infractions like this.

The social contract must start with a prohibition of unjustifiable violence, then an establishment of property, then contracts, then civility. Immorality corresponds to the fundementality of the violated component of the contract as the collapse in trust in one level results in every other level above it collapsing along with it.

As far as this thread goes, you are actually the worst nigga here.


I one saw my friend walk out of a store with two battleforces, three troop boxes, a leman russ, and like $300 in blisters. Apparently his awkward shuffle wasn't all that weird and no one stopped him. He did this like 7 times and got 1k point armies for me and two others.

This was during 4e and he ran eldar so his motives are still unclear to me.

The fact that none of you understand this is why all your communities are complete shitholes where no businesses thrive, because you all think like that, and instead of making it so some person who is superior to you in just about every way is insignificantly Inconvenienced it results in every person, small businesses especially, wanting nothing to do with shitholes like yours.

I've had thoughts of pocketing a pot of wash or paint sometimes when the guy running the store isn't paying attention but he's legit a really nice guy and the store has communal paints and he's always super helpful and encouraging and has stuff to build for displays if you wanna come in and build and paint stuff for the store

Companies break the law and steal all the time, it is just on such a scale that isn't easily actionable. Especially so back during industrialization when rich families were building their wealth that remains today. If you think niggers are the only ones who cheat or steal money you are either so inexperienced as to have no actual knowledge of the abstract concepts you talk about, or you're nerve damagingly stupid, and have no idea how business in the real world works. It has nothing to do with your fairyland social contract you little autistic child faggot. Power checks power, and business is treated like almost total war in actuality.

Well yeah actually, you're violating the social contract when you steal. You are undermining our social order and the rule of law. In a very minor way to be sure but you're still doing it.

You can laugh from the top of shithead mountain where consequences will never reach you and that's fair but it only proves you know that your acts are immoral. Everyone should try to lead a moral life and I don't think there's much to be smug up taking the easier and immoral path of theft to support a luxury hobby.

Sadly the tabletop community is a lot like the wrestling community. It is full of degenerates who can barely function inside it let alone outside it. Without a store to play warhammer at they would probably be off committing crimes or become alcoholics.

People under estimate how fucked up the /tg/ community is. It's a community based on the dregs of society, the unwashed, the stupid but also the autists who can't function with normies. We attract the beta male SJWs, the unwashed fedoras, the single mother kids looking for a father figure and the ugly women who can't get attention any where else due to looking like pigs.

If you took a random sample of 10 traditional gamers, 8 of them would be non-functional. 2 of them would be functional enough to hold those 8 together enough to play games but would still be lacking. There is a reason why geeks have no social cred, even in the era of "geeks rule!" it's just chad wearing fake glasses. Geeks are the underclass of society, they just happen to have enough money to make them valuable consumers until they die.

>>54760886
Concepts like property rights exist to counter act human suffering. Having something stolen from you makes you feel violated. Your ability to trust people goes down, your ability to function goes down because instead of leaving your door unlocked you have to spend time locking and unlocking the door every time you use it.

I feel sorry for someone as sad as you are. You've never lived in a community where you can trust each other to not be a thief, to stick together and look out for each other. Then again with people like you around why would any one near you feel like they could trust each other?

Human suffering is a subjective measurement of badness. Morality, to function, doesn't need to be objective but it does need to be agreed upon and reliable.
To do this you have to identify not what makes people feel bad, because thats subjective, but what is integral to your society functioning and producing all the good things and safety and security that are generally good.
Property rights are integral to that. If you fail to respect property rights you are a parasite on society, not really a part of it. Sure society can support a handful of you scum in the same way an animal can handle a parasite and still be fine but bad behavior spreads like parasites breed, the host will grow sickened and eventually become sick, or even die taking the parasites with it.
For example, every shitty neighborhood. A place only stays nice if those who threaten it with criminal behavior are forcibly removed or reprimanded severely enough to stop acting like scum.

>>54773211
Exactly, it's self fulfilling.
Unsuccessful thieves become marginally more crippled, making them even more unsuccessful (both due to the fact that they're visibly a thief (or a carpenter) and because they have reduced hand utility)

Thus, overtime, all but the greatest of thieves will eventually be rendered handless.

>>54738804

Just once. Walked out with ~$150 in books and paint.

As a marginally mitigating circumstance, the guy who was supposed to be working the counter was in the middle of a several-thousand point 40K game, and BEEN in the middle of a game for ~45 minutes while I waited at the counter, and when I asked if I could check out, he told me that he wasn't going anywhere near the register till his game was done. Which, knowing 40K, would have been another 2 or so hours, easy.

It was still stealing and still wrong, but if you aren't going to work your damn store while poeple are TRYING to give you money, then I'm certainly not going to feel bad when that policy costs you money.

>>54773903

Am I right in thinking that GW is the only company that has its own brick and mortars?

Because if so, then the majority must be independent stores run by real hooman beans, and stealing from an FLGS is embarrassingly shitty behaviour.

I'm willing to reduce stealing from a GW to merely shitty behaviour, and that only because their business practices, while improving, are so shamelessly exploitative.

>>54777177
As far as I'm aware, aside from Warlord Games' one store at their HQ, GW is the only manufacturer with it's own line of stores.

>Not stealing the entire physical store by moving it overnight.

>>54776477

Try going to a game store run by a hobbyist sometime, instead of just jacking off in the back of GW stores. Having employees play games instead of running the fucking store is enragingly common. I've waited 20+ minutes before to ring out, easily, on multiple occasions.

The worst I've ever been in is the NavWar shop in Seven Kings to try and buy naval historicals. It's only open a single day each week, and I've never had to wait less than 10 minutes for the bloke behind the counter to stop talking to his mates, get off his ass, and ring me out. I wouldn't steal from the shop because of it, but I certainly think I'd consider it if I'd had to wait around for 45 minutes.

>>54762254
