All of them except the one where they handed me a collection plate and I thought they were giving me the money so I took it.
I didn't grow up in a church that had one of those. So I've always wondered what would they do if you came to Sunday service, in a hobo outfit and took some of the money in the collection plate. The defense being, 'What? I'm poor. I'm homeless. Jesus would have given.'

But odds point to tazing. arrest, something on that end of the spectrum.
More likely to depend on region of the country or world than anything else.
That would make for one hell of a NotTheOnion, story.
