^^ Absolutely true. When I was 8, I vandalized a house. When I was 18 I tormented somebody in school for the whole year (this is putting it lightly). These are some of the things I did that I look back and say "man, was I stupid."
Here's the difference, sqrl. When I tell people those stories, I also qualify it with "and I regret having done that. It was stupid of me and if I knew then what I knew now, I wouldn't have done it." I have learned from my experience, and have become a more honest person as a result.
I don't see one ounce of regret in what you claim to have done. You posted that as if you were proud of what you accomplished, just as the OP did. If you feel as I do, that it was wrong, then why not say so? You did now admit you felt guilty, that's good enough for me. To get rid of the guilt, do something to counterbalance what you did.
edit: If you don't want to be judged, don't brag about getting away with theft.
