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.
