My dad probably didn't believe me but I didn't get into big trouble (got caught stealing).... Here's the story.
It was in freshman high school year. There was this little mini school event that was boring around 4pm afternoon weekday. My best mate and I was bored as hell so we were just talking until I suggested we go to the local grocery shop and steal some drinks. Before this, I shoplifted a fuck ton so I was quite 'experienced' and never got caught... until this day.
We enter the shop, steal 2 cans with my friend covering the CCTV camera and leave the shop in peace. I found it extremely boring and due to peer pressure and adrenaline rush from excitement, we decided to go over again an hour later and steal again.
So we enter the shop again, pretended to buy a bag of chips and went to the drink section. We spotted a CCTV on one side, but the other side did not have any. My friend also noticed this and as he was bigger and larger than I was, and me being more experienced in shop lifting (I wasn't, I thought I was), I stole the cans while he covered the cameras. I dumbly put one can into my two pockets and the other drink right above my penis with my pants supporting the can. My balls were almost freezing, but 1 minute of endurance meant a free drink so i held it in. The shop keeper would never suspect an innocent looking Asian kid with glasses, but this time they sensed it. She said what was that in my right pocket and long story short, I got busted. After some talking which I've forgotten, we ran away from the store.
I still had 2 cans with me while 1 got taken back. I noticed my friend was carrying a can of drinks which I was confused. I asked him, "When the hell did you steal that?" "When you were talking to the owners. But I got balls, as I left the shop, I maintained eye contact with the owner, held the drink up, nodded my head with a smile and gapped off haha." I didn't believe him at first, but later on I did. Until my dad arrived, I was shitting myself on what to do and what to tell my Dad. I knew that the owners will call the school tomorrow so I had to make a decision quick.
My dad finally arrives, my heart beats hard as fuck and as I entered the car, my Dad asked me what was wrong. I told him, "Dad, I got accused of stealing a can of coke from that shop. I swear I didn't do it and it was a misunderstanding. The coke I had it in my pockets was from the school event, they handed out free drinks and I accidentally forgot that I even had it there as I entered the shop." My dad was quite angry and to 'clear' my name, we entered the shop together... which I didn't calculate this and I thought that I was going to get fucked up by getting caught.
My Dad argues with the owner about the incident and claiming it was a mistake. The owner wasn't having this and he suggested that my dad should watch the CCTV. My heart sank, I knew I was fucked. As we were watching the CCTV, we began with the first visit. My friend did a bang good job in covering the camera as I stole. We could barely see my arms moving and the owner was playing inch by inch to get every single detail. They couldn't prove that I stole, so he fast forwarded to the second visit.
Again, he played it and they went over when I was confronted by the owner. The owner suddenly realises something. The can that I gave to my Dad saying it was the one given by my school was a different coloured can in the CCTV. My dad angrily says, "WHY IS IT DIFFERENT?" I freaked the fuck out and within a heart beat, I came up with an excuse and said. "That's cos my and my mates were switching around the can of coke and this one was before we swapped." My dad demanded the shop keeper that we went back to the footage and see it in details if I stole it or not. As it played on, I felt more dizzy and wanted to pass the fuck out.
