Who else here appropriates records extralegally? aka Steals

I do but apparently there are those within the diggin community who look down upon this practice. I'm curious to know who else does this.

I don't. Most of my records cost less than $2 each, and even then I get breakdowns in price every now and then because I buy 20-30 records at a time.

I don't like the practice because a lot of cats switch up covers, or stick two records in one cover. This practice **** it up for the diggers in the long run because now a once good piece of vinyl is coverless and probably scratched up from not being in its own sleeve.

plus, thieverly is plain dishonorable, and I'd rather be thought of as a fool than as a thief. At least you can trust a fool.

I dont switch up covers or stick two records in one case. I find that to be such a tease especially when u have a record only to find out the record isn't in there. I flat out steal the record. I guess I'm the only dirtbag on this website.

Thats right somebody out there can relate

I'll put two in one sleeve if I find one I want, and there's no sleeve to go with it at the thrift store. I never just take the record, and leave the sleeve. You better hope I don't see you doing it either!

I dont share those sentiments about people who don't steal neither does anyone in my crew we dig with plenty of people who don't steal. Its still cool

Back when I was like 11 wit no job and a passion for dj'ing I would steal tons of records.

I don't care if you steal them just dont leave the sleeve and get my hopes up. That's the worst.....Tight sleeve no album.

I feel dat. Aint nothin worse than an empty sleeve

amen muh fkas

and murphy, jaem is an ass hole--so he probably stole some records from you

I can't lie,

I have done although I didn't set out to. I was in a private shop and the owner was one "stuck up lickle so n so", I was being an opportunist rather than a straight up thief.

I’ve got a nice little local now who sort me out with 10 LPs for a pound/ 10p each. They’re a charity shop and wouldn’t dream of lifting anything from them, I get a proper welcome when I walk in cos they know I’m about to clean them out.

“Rago”… I’d probably go into one if I saw someone switching cases, I’ve been on the receiving end of that nuff times.
