It fell off the back of a lorry!
purloined / aquisitioned / larceny .....all sound better than they are all theft in one form or another. Grand larceny sounds even better as it conjures up something good if it is grand.
Scrumpings good. Then there's chumping, usually round about the same time of year, stealing railway sleepers and pallets and lumps o' wood yer bonfire rivals have amassed and kept hidden, so there's no attempts at a more serious offence of arson.
Not sure how it's spelled, but round these parts nicked = chorey, and then there's yer feral anarchist types who tend to tend to go about 'liberating' things from shop windows.
N x x x ;)
How about "nicked"
Altho when I hear it I always think of Reagan from the Sweeney saying "Get your trousers on, you`re nicked my son" :crazy:
Ohhh in edit pilferred is a good one too
how about illegal music downloads.
Loads of people use these illegal sites, and yet seems we don't really think of it as theft !!
many people watch premership games live on variuos web sites....sure some of these are illegal...but we don't think of this as theft again !!
I have always liked the sound of 'twocking' not only does it sound kinky but you then get a 'joyride' in a car :rascal:
sounds much better than being a scrote who robs a motor and dangerously rags the shit out of it :shock:
hehe this just reminded me of a bit in Red Dwarf the scifi program where one of the characters is worried about being retrospectively caught for scrumping in his youth. when the the other guy calms him down saying a few apples is nothing to worry about. He says "me and me mates used to go scrumping for cars".
It's all about perspective eh !
Ah I remember Scrumping so well as a child growing up in the UK
privatisation!
Remember when companies were nationalised? That meant we owned them. Then the blue rinsed bitch came up with this idea that we should all profit from owning something we already owned and she sold us gas, electric, railways, water.......... And we paid money for what we already owned and some sad sods now complain that the service isn't any use any more. And some people are saying 'why don't we take back these companies into national ownership?' Except these companies are now owned by the french, the spanish, the germans............ it's not theft, it's the bloody tories.
Ok, apologies to all. Not supposed to be a political rant, just to make people think.
