I live in a city where we have a once-monthly pop up market on a larger street, where all the adjacent businesses put out tents and tables to sell their products/get their brands out there. (Local and chain businesses). Earlier this morning, the day of the market, me and my friend were walking on the market street to get to my car to go grocery shopping. We spotted some random supplies next to a trash can outside of a chain store (looking back it was all the stuff you’d need to set up a tent and display for your store at a market) and figured since they were spread around the trash can and some of it looked old/ secondhand, we decided to take a couple things that we liked best. The passing people, employees inside the store who could’ve easily seen us, and the cops across the street dealing with a fender bender didn’t give us any mind. We walked them back to my house, went about our business grocery shopping. I just got home and sat down to think and realized that the other piles of random objects and tables out front of other nearby stores should’ve been the indicator that we were mistaken in taking what we did. I’ve walked past the store a couple times since then as they’ve been setting up for the market. I couldn’t work up the courage to go tell them the truth as there was a crowd of tourists at their setup each time I passed. I’m thinking of going to the store tomorrow to explain the situation and return the items after the market is done and it’s quiet again. Thoughts?
TL;DR: me and my friend stole things from a store thinking it was trash but it was for their display at a local market
Edit: for context I live 7 doors down from this business on the same street
