I had an intense urge to go shopping yesterday and practically "stole" almost everything I bought. As it turned out, I inadvertently shoplifted a pair of boots. Allow me to elaborate.
Let's talk about my crazy bargains. I found a big Guess bag on clearance at $41.99 marked down from $135....a pair of purple suede Isotoner gloves for $6.99, down from $30.00. Here's the best one of all...get ready....a BCBG Max Azria sweater hoodie for $19.99 that was originally $138.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought $303 worth of merchandise for a paltry $69.00 and no taxes, bitches! I love Oregon.
Here's where it got weird. I also bought a pair of boots and when I brought them home, I decided that I wasn't sure I liked them. The boots were not on the receipt and I'm trying to figure out how in the heck I walked out without setting off the alarm. A friend says not to worry about the $17.99....down from $69.00! I shrugged it off but then it occurred to me that if I keep them, does that mean I literally stole them? I would have never known had I looked at the receipt.
I want to take them back but I don't want it to look like I lifted them and my guilty conscience brought me back to the store. I mean, the alarm did not go off, right?
I also shaved $40.00 off my monthly bills. Yeah!!

OMG Wynd! A rightious score tainted. That is the dilemma.
I would advise you do the right thing and return the boots but there is the perception that you took them. Frankly, i'm always queazy when i am put into a vulnerable position. i don't want any trouble.
Perhaps you should give the boots to the Goodwill. i don't know. Consider them a donation from the store (don't use it on your taxes).
Maybe this is a "pass it on moment". A "pass it forward" thing.
Love and light,
