anyone else under 2yr old like tyo try and shoplift?

dd3 has attempted to steal dvd's, cd', chocolate, toiletries and books. i have to check her hands each time we leave, check down the footmuff, and if she is wlaking beside me, check under the buggy. i am paranpid that she will manage it one day and i will get down for it.

DD2 does this all the time.Whilst on holiday in Spain,her haul included a large hardback book,which she had on her lap in the buggy.Luckily I spotted it just as we got outside & returned it.Also a tacky cuddly key ring toy which she was brandishing triumphantly.I don't know where she got that from,so couldn't return it.

DD1 has variously taken,bin liners,toothpaste & a mills & boon book.I spotted the book & returned it,but didn't find where she had hidden the bin liners & toothpaste until long after we had gotten home.

I'm paranoid about checking the buggy & dd2 too.Thankfully dd1 seems to have stopped.

anything thats at dd3 height she will grab.

but the chocolate bars, she knew that she needed 3 for dd1+2 and herself, i swear she knows. she always grabs 3 bars.

Oh God, ds does it all the time. I have to be constantly watching him. Admittedly it's nothing as valuable as a dvd but so far I've discovered dummies (he doen't have them), hairclips (hasn't got enough hair) sweets, small pieces out of toys in ELC (that are pointless without the rest of the toy). It's awful. Inside the footmuff on the buggy is the worst place but sometimes he just carries them and I don't spot that he's got it. Nightmare!! He just has no concept of it being wrong, no matter how any times I tell him. I'll be seeing you in Belmarsh soon I think .

i just remember that video clip of the lady peeling secruity labels off cd's, putting them in her toddlers reach, tapping them and the toddler shoving them in the buggy.

ooh yes ds is very keen on this - not very good at subterfuge luckily so has only got away with a couple of small things. jif lemon stuffed in my bra was quickly detected .

My dd2 was awful for this, worst place was the k-shoes factory shop-5 single shoes had to give them to an assistant as we had no idea where they were from.

A colleague was telling me about her grandaughter,15 months.She had gone into Boots and was looking at make up.On getting out of Boots she discovered the little one was clutching a large handful of lipliners and grinning hugely.She went and returned them only to find,when she got home several lipsticks that the baby had secreted in her buggy and was sat on

we have a pink dog bag that dd tried to nick from a shop once

we did end up with quite a few bags that had miraculously appeared by the time we got to the checkout

i used to have a little wicker basket and fill it up with sweets from sainsburys.

DS secreted a tractor that he'd been playing with at the chiropractor's office in DH's shopping bag. At least we knew where it was from and could take it back...
