I nabbed a load of stuff from outside my local charity shop recently. I'm still feeling a bit guilty about it, but am justifying it in the following ways:
1) There are big signs up saying "please don't leave items outside when the shop is not open", and the shop was clearly not open;
2) It's not a registered charity;
3) When I passed it by again a few hours later, the remaining items had been pilfered by somebody else, so the stuff I took would have been nabbed anyway;
4) I'm making a point of donating to this shop (rather than the registered charity I usually donate to) the next time I do a charity shop run...
I still can't help feeling like a tea-leaf though. Am I deluding myself? Am I going to a specially-designed circle of hell where I'm forever trapped in a smelly, dusty charity shop full of choice vinyl and vintage Pucci dresses that are nabbed from under my nose by other shoppers?
