Is it normal to steal from cars to relieve stress?

Sometimes I like to shatter random car windows and steal belongings I find in the respective vehicles I vandalize just to relieve stress and if I can’t find a car or if it seems too risky, I commit other deviant actions in order to calm myself down. Has anyone ever done something like this?

    Go boxing, lift weights, run, jump, do whatever you wanna do, but vandalism is a very low and scummy thing to do.

    And I'll be honest, if I saw someone messing with my car, I would smash their face in and beat them to a pulp, even if I have to blow all of my savings on police bribes to walk away clean. I really hate vandals and scummy thieves.

        Respect a man's car, man respects you.

        Probably the greatest line in a car chase movie. Transporter 2 was awesome.

      How do you feel about vandalizing stuff belonging to shitty people? Some people deserve to get their stuff smashed.

        Settle your problems with the shitty people, don't take it out on objects. Not to mention the waste of resources. You smash up someone's car, that someone is gonna have to replace parts. Manufacturing those parts costs time, money, resources and puts a strain on the eco system.

        If you wanna teach some asshole a lesson, there are far better ways to do it than petty vandalism.

          I guess we'll have to agree to disagree here. A well deserved egging can be a very karmically satisfying thing and you get bonus points for fucking the system if you steal the eggs from a big grocery store.

    Shit, read the post above yours if you want to relieve stress. Stealing from cars is just stupid and can get you shot dead.

      So you approve of vigilante "justice" and capital punishment via a gun for vandals? Really? Once again, I am so glad I do not live in the usa.

    Ah, the memories. I caught a scumbag cokehead goof trying to break in to my car 7 years ago. Most satisfying black eye I ever gifted someone.

    I feel like thiefs are on the same level as pedos. Idk why I've always hated thiefs. You can never trust one.

    Not cool at all !

    How would you feel if you did this to someone who is a single parent and trying to raise there kids and you did this and they lost there job because you broke into there car and they can't go to work because they have no money to pay for the car damage ?

    Stop being selfish and think of other who you effect by you're actions .

    If you want to break things do it to your own stuff and leave other people's property alone. If you're not willing to do it to your own stuff, don't do it to someone elses.

    I only condone stealing from corporate companies.

      I actually agree with this... If someone finds a way to quietly drain bank funds, insurance scams, or something like that - well done.

      Big money companies are rich enough, just don't scam the regular people, or the elderly...

      A big problem in the Balkans, gypsies scamming the elderly.

    Why couldn't you just go to a junkyard and smash an abandoned car's windows? If you like the thrill of robbing somebody and not just damaging property, then I can't help you there.

    What if someone came and smashed your shit and stole from you? Would that be ok? I mean, they're just relieving stress so it's cool, yeah?

    Maybe not so normal but definitely not insane kinda like what I do when Im frustrated which is steal from shops. Just don't get caught and you won't face any consequences.

    Stealing from individual people is kind of morally sketchy unless they did something to deserve it. The smashing windows is messy and unnecessary though, and you're gonna attract attention doing that. You never learned how to pop a lock?

    I steal from shops but I probably wouldn’t get away with stealing or damaging a car. How do you do it?

      A criminal record might be a teensy problem when you're looking for a law-related position.

      But being convinced that you'll never get caught is probably part of your pathology.

        I mean, I’m a serial shop lifter since the age of about 12 and haven’t been caught yet. Plus I’m a young, decently attractive female so if I get caught I can just cry and offer them a few little favours if they agree not to prosecute. Also no pathologies here, I was just genuinely curious about how OP gets away with punching in car windows without setting off the alarm and the owner immediately coming running out.

          See in retail I dont give a shit. But if someone tried that I would call the cops so fast frankly judt to spite you.

      I look for older models because they are less likely to have alarms. If I do set off an alarm, I run away without attempting to steal, too risky.

        It helps to scope out what's inside the car first so you can just grab it and run. It's gonna take a couple minutes by the time somebody realizes it's their car alarm and actually gets up dressed and outside.

            You don't rob cars in the middle of the day mah dude. You do it at like 2am when everyone's sleeping.
