As a teenager I realized that I could get away with anything because of how I looked. I could effortlessly shoplift whatever I wanted and did so for many years. Later on I got away with selling drugs for a long time, including being pulled over but not searched with a quarter brick in the trunk of my car! I did get raided later but got very lucky as I had mostly cleared house and they did not find the several sheets of LSD in my freezer.

Pretty much every girl I ever dated has said the same thing about how they got away with shoplifting. And several of them worked at a department store at one time or another. Seems to be a thing.

I never stole anything, but I never worked at Nordstrom so who the hell am I to judge.

We get away with shoplifting, easier police encounters and with authority in general except when it comes to large amounts of money (business, still not seeing that rise in funding for women) or politics. Grass is greener..

Eh. You guys definitely get away with a lot of shit, but I wouldn't say that makes the grass greener from over here. I'm still glad I'm not a girl :p Still, maybe we just hear more about men running huge financial scams because men actually get caught more often. I wouldn't put it past a lot of ladies. There's a whole lotta young Martha Stewart wannabes out there on tiktok

Maybe not the smartest idea to post this on a public forum :)

Yes but if the statute of limitations did not run out, any investigators might still correlate with the other facts.

Are investigators in your country so short of crime to investigate they would attempt to pull out information from an anonymous statement with no guarantee of veracity on a website in a small corner of the internet about a potential minor crime from years ago?

They would have to actually seize drugs (in the USA) to make a case unless there was something else…

It's easily defensible as a story for entertainment.
