I stole money at a cash point machine and spent it

Many moons ago (I was around 17 years old) I was heading to a local cash point machine which was known to be very ‘slow’. I’m at the crossing and this businessman speed-walks past me and jumps in front of me to use the vacant machine, which is mildly annoying. (The machine dispenses maximum £300 a transaction so I need to do the transaction 3 times to withdraw my rent). So I patiently waited keeping my respectful distance. He turns around to look at me and scorns me, mutters something and turns back around. I tried to act like I wasn’t bothered but I was, not only because he pushed ahead of me but now he’s got an attitude. Anyways about 30 seconds had passed and he’s waiting for his cash, I’d heard his card leave the machine about 20 seconds earlier but he was just standing there expecting his money. He gets really agitated and just picks up his briefcase and leaves. I’m not sure if he has gotten his money but take a step forward to put my card in, lo and behold the dispenser led starts flashing and just opens. I see the wad of cash and then pretend to put my card in the machine and snipe the money. I try not to look around but I can’t help it and turn around to see a woman has joined the queue, but no sign of the businessman. After about 30 seconds i do the ‘action’ of putting money and card away and walk off. Once I’m clear I look to see how much I’d attained. £250! I was very happy and to this day always remember. I try to convince myself if he didn’t push past me, scorn me and mutter something I’d have tried to find him… but I know I wouldn’t have.

I went back to the cash machine later that day to withdraw the rest of the rent money as I was nervous he would be waiting for me.

This is my confession.
