I like to steal small things.
Especially from stores and supermarkets. But from big supermarkets, I feel that it's a small act of rebellion after what they, the powerful, steal from us. In my country, the powerful handle business to their liking and collude together and cheat ordinary people. I, as an ordinary person, steal small things from them, and it doesn't cause them harm, I know, but at least it entertains me. In any case, my mother should not find out.
