I technically stole my laptop and airpods
Three years ago I was in school perusing a creative degree that required me to buy a more powerful computer. There’s all this powerful software that would just make my old computer crash regularly. I decided on purchasing a new Macbook Pro through my school’s bookstore.
I wanted to do it over the summer before the new semester started, that way I could load all of my programs for my first week, etc. I also splurged on some airpods because I have little self control and was putting this on my student loan anyways.
During checkout, I opted to have them shipped to me. At payment I selected to apply to my financial aid account, i entered my student id in like normal. I never intended on stealing anything. However, the laptop was promptly shipped to me and the funds never withdrew from my student account.
I was an adult student, and really struggling financially just trying to pay rent and put myself through school. I’m not the kind of person to drop that kind of money on anything. My therapist told me to let the school know. Being in the shitty financial position i was in, that didn’t happen. I also sold my old laptop.
A month into the semester I got every dime of my refund check as if I had never bought anything. Nobody ever questioned it. Graduated and diploma hanging on my wall right above my computer.
