💨 Abstract

The author, an estate agent and volunteer, has been shoplifting for five years, with items totaling around £20,000. She started during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to cope with isolation. Despite feeling guilty, she finds the act thrilling and has continued despite her ability to afford the items. She steals from large chains, never hiding items, and always makes a purchase.
