When I was a teen, I think around 15-16 I had a major shoplifting problem. I'm embarassed to say this now, but I became an expert at shoplifting. Nothing was beyond my grasp.
Finally, I did get busted. In pretty much the same fashion as Prince. I was stealing a Cassette Single (can't remember which one) and I got caught. And in the same situation I was brought to a room, explained the situation, and then they finally let me go with a warning and told to never appear in that store again.
Scared me straight as the saying goes and well, I was so freaked out from the whole situation I never did go back to that store for almost a decade.
