I told my kids simply " If it ain't yours don't touch it!"
I made my daughter take back a candy bar and give it to the manager. She was a really cutey when she was small and he was going to do the" oh its nothing!" cause she was crying. I was standing behind her scowling at him shaking my head.He played along with me but I thought he was going to cry. lol She was only 3 but she remembers that to this day.
Now with my son it was buttons. LOL And the same thing didn't faze him on little bit.
Stealing food to feed your kids is one thing still wrong but I can at least understand it. But stealing sewing machines. Nope that's just greed.
