<p>Like bananaslug said, just buy the friggin shirt. Stealing gets you nowhere in the real world, and when you get away with it the first time, you move on to something more expensive and more dangerous. Pretty soon you will be robbing banks and serving 10 years in prison... okay not really (hopefully) but you get the point. It is a silly thing to do. It is good that you learned your lesson, but it doesn't make sense that a smart guy like you would try to steal some crappy shirts (It is from Macy's) when in 6 years, you will have no problem paying for those shirts. </p>
<p>Just on a sidenote, I don't understand why this thread is one of the most popular threads on the UCSC forum as it has nothing to do with UCSC. If anywhere, it should be on the CC general college admission forum or the CC 'talk about anything' forum. I understand you happen to be going to UCSC next year, but I doubt this is a common problem kids attending UCSC go through.</p>
