I would steal games from stores, take them home, copy them (using this ridiculously clunky 1x IDE cd copier that had to be mounted outside the computer in a frame and held up by elastic bands, to get a decent yield), and return them.

I got caught, funny enough when returning a disc rather than stealing it.

This turned into my first job as the guy agreed to not make a big deal out of is if I used my Ape50 to do deliveries for him after school for a bit. After the bit ended, we decided we got along, so I kept working there afternoons until I graduated, and two years fulltime after graduation.

Then the place closed because a Euronics opened two streets over, and I moved to the US for university.
