.  In conclusion, I hope you have learned that shoplifting is wrong from my explanation of my past "jobs" that I have pulled, when I got caught and the consequences I endured. Through it all I realized that shoplifting is bad not only because it hurts the companies you are stealing from, but it also can get you in some real trouble. I was lucky to not have to deal with the cops, others aren't so lucky. In all, through my experience with this I learned that the juice is not worth the squeeze. I hope you did too.
