OOPS! I accidently stole a hat from Walmart tonight. I had tried it on Ian, put it in the cart next to him, then a minute later took his jacket off him and it covered it up. Plus it's brown, so is the cart cover...didn't see it, and completely forgot it was there. Guess I'll take the tags off and take them in with me next time I go and pay for it then.
I know I'm not the only one...what have you accidently stolen?

A week ago I was checking out at a craft store and an item didn't have a price tag on it. I ACCIDENTALLY told the clerk the price was lower than what it was and remembered when I got home. I still haven't gone back to give them the difference but I intend to.
Mine might be the worst. I stole TWO boxes of formula from Target before. I put them underneath the stroller, but then continued shopping. I picked up just a few little things after that, so they went on top of the stroller. I ran into a friend while shopping and we talked for awhile before I checked out. When I did, I just grabbed the stuff on the top and totally forgot about the formula underneath. I noticed after I loaded up the car and went to put the stroller away. I did go in and pay for it right away, though. That was like $70 worth of formula! I would've felt awful.
It's so easy to forget about things when you are shopping with the stroller. DH and I walked out with something else before, I can't remember what it was now, but DH ran in and paid for it then, too.
I accidentally stole lip gloss from the grocery store a few weeks ago - it somehow got wedged under the baby seat part of the cart. Oops.
My friend accidentally stole baby socks from H&M a few weeks ago too, but went back to pay as we were just outside the store.
I stole a dog collar from PetSmart. I put it around my arm (while wearing a black sweatshirt - it was a black collar) so that I cold pick up the bag of food and not drop the collar...I didn't realize it until I got home and DH asked about my new jewelry!
I went back the next weekend (it is like 30 minutes out of my way) and paid for it. The woman though I was nuts for coming back in!
My mom and I both got leather coats from Loft and they only charged us for one. I went back to pay for the second and they seemed surprised too.
