Not really theft,
but I did acquire something that I didn't fully pay for.
About 2000, I got a quote for some double glazing work, new door and porch, a couple of windows, and some bargeboards and fascias.
I paid the deposit of about £250, and the work was carried out a week later. The guys doing the work asked for the rest of the money, but I wanted a receipt and full bill which they didn't have the appropriate paperwork to do at the time.
I said send me a bill, and I'll pay.
Never got the bill, so I ended up with about £2500 worth of stuff for a tenth of the price.
