The Shoplifters Lament: Let me go, I already paid for this

On Remembrance Day my Walmart opened at Noon. I got there around 8 in the morning and the newspaper I wanted was in a bundle outside of the store. I took the top newspaper off of the bundle and scurried away like a little schoolgirl.

The next week I was in for the same paper, I double-scanned the paper to make sure I paid for it twice...to even up for the week before.

I admit it. I was wrong, but I atoned in the end. I know I'd still be branded a thief, but my elderly father really needed that newspaper for his weekly crossword puzzle!
