Easy. At wall-mart. The day before, I distracted the lady from the counter (while asking for info on games) while my friend took the keys behind the counter for the glass door where they keep the games and playstation. The next day, we go back, go in the breifcase departement, take a big leather bag, put it in the shopping cart, then we go the the electronics departement, I ask the other lady about some PC games to distract her while my friends unlock the glass door, takes the playstation, puts it in the leather bag, takes a few games (3 copies of FF 8  ) puts them in the bag. When I see him coming back, I say thank you very much and I head for the door to go to my car. When he sees me infront of the wall mart door, he just leaves with the leather bag with out paying and jumps in my car. I had a towel over my liscence plate so they couldn't take it down if someone ever tried to catch us. But no one saw him leave without paying. 
Perfect plan.
Spec.

No, but according to Lars Ulrich, yes.

When you walk into the checkout line, there is a tacit understanding between you and the market: They will add up the prices of the items as marked and advertised and in return you will pay them the total amount of those items. If they overcharge you whether intentionally or not, they are breaking the agreement. That is stealing and you would not be happy about it would you? Likewise if they undercharge you as in the example above, you are stealing.
Could a lawyer succesfully defend you against taking the extra change? Sure. He could say that you weren't aware of your actions, that you just put the change in your pocket without noticing the error. Now you would be a liar and a thief. Let's not play around with semantics here. You know in your own mind that by accepting the extra change you are taking advantage of the store by taking something not rightfully yours.
Read some of the German philosopher Immanuel Kant. His position on ethics is summed up in his "Categorical Imperative" : "Act only on that maxim whereby thou canst at the same time will that it should become a universal law. " Test each maxim by asking yourself two questions: 1) Can I conceive of a world in which everyone follows this principle? ; 2) Would I be willing to live in such a world?
