does anyone have any stories of times that they were never found out, or never got caught

the 2 that come to mind straight away:

pranking my sister in to thinking she'd got an audition for the X-factor (she never found out it was actually me who set the whole thing up), then returning to a website 3 years after I'd been banned (because I heard it was closing), andn o one suspected a thing (my cover story was good)

We’re not supposed to have food at work yet I am always eating Doritos and saltine crackers and other stuff. I just hide it in my drawer and I’ve never been caught.

I get away with a lot of stuff in general not just at work. because I just don’t talk to people.

When I was little I got a brand new bike for Christmas, but I was so terrified of riding that I took a thumb tack and popped the tires so I wouldn't have to ride it anymore. Unfortunately for me, my dad had the tires replaced. To this day he would always comment how expensive replacing those tires were (we were very poor growing up) and I've refused to admit I intentionally popped them.

I’ve been messing with a couple girls on my Facebook for a couple years and they still haven’t noticed.

In the psych hospital the first time I was there I couldn’t have any utensils. So I couldn’t eat the nasty roast beef and mashed potatoes. Instead I got really good grilled cheese sandwiches and French fries. They never found out how much I preferred them to the regular food. Joke was on them.

I've slept with three coworkers at different jobs and dated a manager. None of my bosses found out nor did any other coworkers to my knowledge.

I think I've mentioned this elsewhere maybe once before, but when I was in a long hospitalization, my doc stopped all my meds because she wasn't fully convinced I had bp 1. Long story behind that and maybe I'll share it some day. Anyhoo, I did great for a number of months, other than some hypomania. Then, one day, I suddenly fell into a massive, dysphoric mixed episode with tons of anxiety and panic attacks and it was just awful. My psychiatrist, the one who had stopped the meds, was out of the country, so another one from a different unit came to see me to get my meds re-started. We talked about what had and hadn't worked in the past. She was quite thorough and very kind. Anyway, when we got to Wellbutrin, she asked me if I had ever had any problems with it before. I immediately said 'No." So, we got the Wellbutrin going. The problem was, I neglected to tell her I had before been floridly manic on Welbutrin some years earlier. I felt I couldn't tell her because then she wouldn't prescribe it and I knew from experience that when I was as bad as I was then, Wellbutrin needed to be part of the plan for recovery. So, I lied. Awful behavior. But sometimes, you gotta know how to operate within the system. And I got my Wellbutrin.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

Mine are all trauma-related, largely including moral injuries stemming from trauma - things I would rather not speak of or acknowledge yet. I feel a little safer now hearing about other people's brave histories. I'm not there yet, and I wouldn't know where to begin.

Maybe that isn't the same thing as youthful deviancy, where it wasn't traumatic but rather just a learning experience.

If I did anything else in adulthood or childhood, I was typically the one who got caught, such as when I ran away and went to the police to report my dad for harming my mom. I don' t think that counts. I was caught because I went to the police, LOL.

Oh, I did ask someone in college to bring me an extra plate of food because I was starving and couldn't afford food at the time. You're only supposed to eat in the dining hall, but you were allowed to get seconds. I asked the person to sneak the food out and bring it to the library, so that I can eat something. I had no money for food, so that was a life-saver. We never got caught for that.

Interesting. I stole a bag of groceries once because my kids and I were flat out of money and food. I was doing the best I could at the time, but I guess the uneasy feeling remains, because the incident still seems very sharp in my mind. Fortunately, I did not get caught.

@B@BethRags

I am so sorry you struggled at that time. I once saw a video about a cop that actually bought the groceries some woman wanted to steal because the woman was desperate to feed her kids. That is what is called "spirit of the law," as opposed to the punitive "letter of the law." That is kindness.

Crimes of necessity happen sometimes. There is no need to beat yourself up about something you did at a time you were vulnerable. We can all learn from our mistakes. I eventually paid the school back through a donation. You do not need to do that, but if you have the means, you can make amends that way.

We all make poor choices at some points in our lives. I believe life is about learning and improving. So no matter what we covered up, we can always make amends.

There was one person in a church I attended who decided to turn himself in for a crime he was never caught doing. I forgot if it was theft or burglary or manslaughter, but he chose to serve time. The judge gave him probation, I think. It was his way of making amends.

At my very first job, on Black Friday, Since we were all on for 8 hour shifts we got 2 15's and a 30 minute break due to the volume of customers we were getting. I was FLAMING MAD when my manager who didn't like me kept "forgetting" to let me take my second 15, so I told the girl I was sharing a cash register station with that I'd be right back. I straight up ran to the doors leading out into the parking garage, sprinted inside the mall our department store was attached to, and bought two massive iced coffees and a couple of cookies. I nicely asked the girl at the register to hurry up because my manager didn't know I left, and by god she pulled through and I tipped her 10$ for the rushed order. I sprinted back to my station while cramming cookies in my mouth and gave the second coffee to my coworker, who had lied and said I went to the bathroom. Never got found out

Good one! I like this - and awesome that you tipped her the 10$.

Nah, it's not awful! When I was younger I used to play the psych system just a bit, as far as getting myself prescriptions that I felt were more helpful than the meds certain not-very-intuitive pdocs wanted to prescribe. I stopped doing that as I've become older; I am now completely honest. And there are some times when I think I would do well to revert to my younger not always entirely upfront days, simply because I know myself better than they know me.

Of course, back then doctors didn't have computers to check every date and refill.

I was doing garbage at my last job and a bunch of stuff that shouldn’t have been in there fell into the compacter. I freaked out that my manager would walk in and see the stuff in there so I turned on the compactor and then used the shovel to get them in deeper so she wouldn’t see it happen. I still worried for awhile if there were cameras in that area or not.

Yikes, I'm embarrassed...I didn't mean that I stole someone else's bag of groceries...I meant that I went to my local natural food co-op and put some food in a grocery bag & walked out with it. I was desperate and lucky - the people working were stoned and didn't pay attention to what I was doing.
