Cute things that you have stolen lately
 

In the great GC tradition of corrupting threads...

I stole a "cute" rocks glass from a bar last weekend...if I had been wearing my other jacket I would have stolen the martini glass.

I approve of this parody thread. I really want to steal some glasses from the bar my study groups frequent, but I also want to keep going back there. :(

This reminds me of my old roomate and sister melissa. she used to take glasses from all kinds of places. the coolest one we have is a big glass with red swirled through it

When I was down in Lexington my friends and I use to steal cups from just about every bar we went to. If we hadn't we wouldn't have had cups. ;)

My friends and I have a tradition of getting one thing from just about every bar we go to. I have a shelf in my room devoted to what has become a rather extensive collection of beer glasses, a fishbowl, and a shaker. I hope to get a pitcher to join their ranks soon.

I had a brother that moved far beyond shot glasses and beer cups...he started getting barstools from his favorite bars.

see now that's just impressive, I tip my non-existant hat to him

Yeah, we got a few peeps in my chapter who likes to gank glasses from bars.

Does this remind anyone else of the episode of 7th Heaven where Mary gets caught stealing a glass from the local diner, and then they end up in court and all the kids start bringing back everything they'd stolen...and it was about enough for 6 diners...

My friend takes the "Stealing from Bars" gold medal...he stole a rolling ladder that the bartenders use to change a marquee. An 8 foot tall rolling ladder. And nobody, including him, has any idea how he did it.

Did this happen in O-town?

Si.

At Brick Street/First Run/the Dirty.

OMG that's awesome.

approximately a million years ago, my best friend stole one of the real Starbucks mugs (what they give you if you order your coffee "for here" instead of "to go.") It's nasty, chipped, and wrapped in gaffer's tape now, and I desperately want to steal him a new one, but I have not yet worked up enough courage. Esp. since one of my other good friends now works at Starbucks, which increases the guilt factor...

I've got one group of friends who used to steal pitchers - but not one at a time. They had competitions to see how many they could smuggle out - the all-time champ is my buddy J, who got 7 pitchers in his coat/pants/hands out of the Sports Column in Iowa City.

Another guy steals neon signs, but has a terrible issue with breaking them on the way out - he'll have it out the door, take off, then drop it and break part of it (rendering it useless).

I have a lovely collection of pint glasses (they have to have either the bar or the beer imprinted on them). And once I took one of those flashing construction lights. I wanted to get the entire barricade, but it didn't fit in my car.

My friends and I had a collection going in college of pilsners we stole from bars.

The best is when we went to a local Chinese restaurant and stole not only the teacups but the tea kettle as well. (or whatever that thing is called that holds all the tea on the table) My friend had an oversized bag with her and it was an impulse decisions. "Wouldn't it be cool if we stole these?"..... So we did. She still has it.

How about traffic/street signs? I'm shocked no one has mentioned that yet.

I stole someone's cell phone from a bar. I didn't remember I had done so until my bag started ringing. It was the owner wondering where it was. I gave it to my friend who returned it to him.

My sister was busted trying to steal a lantern from a bar. She was embarrassed. The guy was nice and told her where she could buy one.

I personally have never stolen signage (although I have painted on it....I think I've told that story before in another post). I do have a friend that had a collection of Deer Crossing and street name signs. Never stole Stop or Yield signs. That would be cruel.

After reading this thread, I've suddenly got the urge to go steal someone's hubcaps.

Do other guys' girlfriends count?

-Rudey
--Oh Rudey, that was slick!

we stole the RESERVED sign from our table at one of the clubs out here .....
my big has this purse thats like rectangular and long - and we always shove glasses and shot glasses into it... and one night we walked off with 4 shot glasses and 2 cups, which are now sitting on her wet bar in her dining room :rolleyes:

Worst ever was a parking meter

The Phi Taus from my school stole the street sign for "brotherhood way" which is a street by our school.


Also I helped to steal a HUUUUGGGEE (fake) chocolate bar which was a christmas decoration on the big tree at Ghiradelli Square a couple years ago... gee.. wonder why they start decorating so much further up the tree now ??

I stole some french fries at the bar. Also, ketchup. I actually walked out with a 48oz mug one time. I wonder what happened to that mug.
