If you could get away with one single crime

What would it be?

Mine would be robbing a bank I think. Plenty of money to keep me going

I would very slowly and very painfully kill the man who whose reputable dog breeding business was actually just fronting a puppy farm, and who kept my dog in a cage for years and used her for breeding.

SaltedChoco · 20/02/2023 16:20

a rigged lotto win for sure.

Murder a close second, and yes, I could definitely do it if I could get away with it!

are you surprised?! 😂

Shouldn't be, should I? Grin

I don't think I could go as far as murdering someone but I'd be tempted by what Lorena Bobbitt did when she cut off her husband's penis after he raped her. I wouldn't do it to my DH, he's lovely, but rapists and paedophiles would be top of my list.

Although rigging a lotto win is very tempting too and much less physical effort.

I'll help you with that one 😡

Not even someone like Putin? If you could get away with it? I would. Think of all the lives you would save.

To be honest no. I’m quite selfish in the fact I would rather have the money to help my family.

A crime that you could commit and never be caught?

A parenting site?

There are a few dark and disturbing posts on here......... Shock

I agree. Wanting to blowtorch someone's face is a disturbing fantasy and I genuinely would not want to know that poster IRL.

Soubriquet · 20/02/2023 16:34

I suppose some people have the right idea with getting free money and then paying someone to do the hit. But remember only one of those crimes is undetectable.

So if you get a lot of money….well you can put a hit out on someone, but then the police are involved and you could get caught

This. ^ Quite scary actually... Shock You never know though, what your neighbours, colleagues, and even friends are thinking deep down. 😱 I get angry with some people sometimes, but don't harbour any desire to kill or severally maim anyone. As I said, some quite dark and disturbing posts on here.

PurpleButterflyWings · 20/02/2023 16:36

Autocorrect fail. No desire to SEVERELY maim anyone, not severally!!!!

Siphoning off 1p from every account in the world which has never been overdrawn😁

Genius. This is what I would do too.

However if my abuser was still alive, I would definitely have chosen to push him off a cliff so I can see why people are saying murder.

OhNoNotThatAgain · 20/02/2023 16:39

There is one evil despot the world could do without.

NetballHoop · 20/02/2023 16:40

Does this count as a crime? I'd find a way to suck out all the reserves of oil and gas in Russia thus crippling their invasion of Ukraine.

I haven't quite worked how it would be done or what I'd do with it all, but those details can come later.

Emmamoo89 · 20/02/2023 16:40

Definitely murder

Gwen82 · 20/02/2023 16:40

Someone wanted to blow torch someone’s face??!

postitpatty · 20/02/2023 16:41

Pushing cyclists off their bikes who take up the whole road and don't allow overtaking opportunities. And also the ones who at traffic lights decide that road rules stop applying and mount the pavements or go straight through.

postitpatty · 20/02/2023 16:42

I know it's petty but they wind me up! 😆

DRS1970 · 20/02/2023 16:42

Murder. Just commenting for a friend...

Alexandernevermind · 20/02/2023 16:44

I used to fantasise about looting the local market's biscuit stall in the event of a power cut when I was little 🤣🤣

Someone wanted to blow torch someone’s face??!

Only for a few seconds! :)

lemmein · 20/02/2023 16:47

Murder.

In fact, if I could 100% guarantee they'd die I'd do it and wouldn't care if I was caught!

postitpatty · 20/02/2023 16:47

"Only for a few seconds! :)"

If that doctor ruined the poster's daughter's life by negligence and then covered it up, I completely understand the rage.

I'd want that maniac gone over there in Russia.

Hiouo · 20/02/2023 16:52

I’d kill my ex DH, would have absolutely no issues watching him die a slow painful death!
