Question for you thiii out there

[RainDog]

What's the most valuable thing you've ever stolen (or most interesting story). Plead the 5th if you must. There's one I won't list.

Me:
Fraternity plaque (displaying fellow frat "bras" over the years). This was after beer and wine swiping. Ended up getting chased and my friend who had no part in the mess started running without knowing what for. He couldn't get away in flip flops so they carried him back to the frat house over their heads as sacrifice. To his credit he didn't give up my name and he was saved due to a fraternity brother that had gone to Madrid with him for study abroad (This brother's nickname in Spain was "biblioteca"...library in Spanish). Imagine the poor guy being hoisted above the heads of 6 fraternity guys, shouting "Biblioteca, help me!" And he didn't give me up: good friend.

On another occasion, I was walking an hour to my flat in the slums of Edinburgh, Scotland (where I sorta lived for a while). It was dead smack in the middle of Winter, I was drunk, and all I was wearing was a t-shirt. So I walked into someones front door, took their pea coat off the coat rack and went on my way.
