I have an essay to do with the title "The stangest thing i ever stole" Please could someone give me an idea of what to choose?
Greetings!
First, I'm guessing you meant "strangest"? It's a provocative title and an interesting assignment. Can it be fictional? Or does your instructor actually want you to cop to a misdemeanor (or, worse, a felony!)? ;-)) If it can be fiction, that gives you loads of leeway. You could come up with something that appeals to you, personally. For example, if you like to read science fiction, you could write about how you stole parts from an alien spaceship that crash-landed on Earth. If you prefer sports, you could write about stealing second base -- the actual base -- from Yankee Stadium.
If, on the other hand, you really are supposed to write from your life, that's a little trickier. You want to be careful what you admit to, just in case you ever run for President. ;-) Did you steal your best friend's idea for a science fair project? Your next-door neighbor's rocker/recliner remote control? The great thing about "the strangest thing" is that you can have fun with this.
I hope this gives you some ideas!

Greetings! Let me give you even more ideas:).
What an interesting prompt! However, I can see how you might get stuck, since it is so broad.
To make your essay stand out, I would choose the most outlandish thing I could think of, such as an ATM machine that you carved out of the wall at a bank, or (to go a slightly different route) a pack of fake nails for a party. You might also go a more comical route and choose something like a pack of condoms or a box of tampons, something slightly taboo that you stole because you didn't want to pay for it and have to face the cashier.
Alternatively, you could take a more philosophical approach. For example, you could talk about how you stole self-esteem once by talking poorly about someone else, and how you learned from that experience that this is not the best way to feel better about yourself.
I hope these ideas help!
