The "I have a confession thread"

[Exian]

I once stole a DragonBallZ trading card when I was about 14 from my favorite comic shop, and I still feel horrible. Every now and then, I think about taking it back and apologizing, but I don't know if I could find it.

Here's how the caper went down- My favorite villain of the Sayan saga was Raditz, cuz of that hair. I have Raditz 1, 2, 3, but not 4 and you couldn't play a character unless you had all 4 character cards (or something like that). So my friends and I were in the comic shop looking through magazines when we came across one wrapped in plastic with the Raditz 4 card bouncing around in there, for a promotional thing, I guess. I was pretty pumped, but I didn't have enough for the magazine, just the card. I brought the mag up to the owner and asked if I could just open the plastic and buy the card. He looked like he wanted to let me, but he said he couldn't do it.

So, we moved on and started picking out our packs of DBZ cards that we hoped would have some ultra rare awesomeness in them. Then, as I was talking to the owner and picking my cards, I heard my buddy snapping his fingers down by his thigh. It finally got my attention. I looked down and he's pointing towards the floor where the Raditz 4 card is lying. It must have slipped out of the plastic. I was about to pick it up to give it to the dude when my buddy stepped on it. That's when I knew he wanted me to steal it. We always opened our packs of cards at the counter to see what we got instantly, so that's what I did, but this time I purposely fumbled them and they scattered across the floor. I bent down to pick them up and gathered the Raditz card along with them. Said Thanks! and walked out. I still feel like shit.
