The Gibbies
I have never knowingly stolen anything other than beer from a Greek bar that i ran and that wasn't technically stealing as it was paid for - the owners gave staff drinks at half price so every so often when a punter bought a drink it was put through the till twice - huzzah free beers all round for me and my staff. serves them right for charging equivalent of £2.80 in drachmas for a pint - when it was costing about seven pence a pint to buy.

Anyway, I digress. the Gibbies (its a nickname so i assume its ok) they were the epitomy of pikey without actually being so. they lived in my hometown back in the early 80s and had three sons - the eldest and hopefully not the brightest Gibby - carried out a theft so daring and audacious that Columbo would have been stumped - he smashed open the old fasshionned electricity meter in his OWN house and ran away with all the 50 pences to London (from a village in northumberland). His haul he announced upon return to school a couple of days later £18.50. Cue two hundred kids pissing themselves with laughter and Gibby becoming a local legend.

They also had a patch of stolen carpet and a telephone (not plugged in) at their front door for show.

Calm down dear its only a qotw
the username story is well documented and i'd forgotten about it so it doesn't count.

Lighters are fair game - its not theft - post a story about people nicking lighters - you won't be flamed but maybe mildly roasted....
