The other weekend I was at a party at this kids house. His parents know my parents from their wednesday and friday night golf league. He was maybe a year ahead of me in highschool, and we went to the same school. Coincidentally, his name is Kyle also.
We got there (umm, this wasn't an adult party his parents were throwing or anything, people my age got together and got drunk). The party was in his garage, and by the time we got there he wasn't even at his own party, he was up in his house. So I proceeded to hang out with everyone there, drink beer, and get drunk. There were about 13 poeple there.
After a while, out of the corner of my eye I see maybe like 3 skateboards sitting together. Being drunk I proceeded to grab the best one out of the 3 and ride it around the garage in front of people testing it out and doing some stuff on it. I never considered myself a clepto, but I've stolen some stuff in my day and was pretty good at it. Being a skateboarder with no skateboard, having mine stolen about a year ago, I guess you could say my clepto instincts got the best of me. (Not to mention. Even though I haven't hung out with this kid a lot, the times I have he kind of acted like a rich stuck-up snob.)
I then mumbled to myself and probably within earshot of a few people, that "There isn't enough room in here, that driveway is nice." Indeed it was, he had a very nice black-top driveway, spacious too. But that wasn't what I went out there to do. I hung outside for a while, made sure no drunken idiot was coming outside to take a leak. Then I ran over to my car, opened the door as fast as I could, popped the trunk and stuffed it in there. I waited outside a couple more minutes then went back inside and nobody even remembered that I brought it out there because they were so drunk.
After we left I had a change of heart, and after I told my friends what I did. So I turned back and returned it. Saying that I left it in the driveway and forgot out it. Even though I did the right thing returning it. It doesn't make me feel better about it. Because I know if I had the chance, I would've stolen his Marshall half-stack that was out there too.
