Most smokers will give someone a cig if they ask. When someone asks to borrow your lighter there is a good chance they will pocket it after lightning up(more likely out of habit, than a malicious decision to steal it).

Yeah back in my smoking days I bought a unique looking lighter so I wouldn't accidentally steal someone else's. After a night of drinking, I noticed I somehow had two of them.

Sorry! I tried my best not to steal your lighter, whoever was unfortunate enough to have one that looked like mine.

For decades after high school I still had a stash of lighters that weren't mine. I miss those days. My friends and I called it "the lighter game" and the goal was to be the person at the end of the night with the most lighters. At a party once my buddy pocketed like 6 it was hilarious.

I always carried a white lighter because of this. No one wants bad luck!

I always carried purple, none of the guys I knew would steal a purple lighter and I always knew which where mine.

Common occurrence is coming back home with a different lighter you go out.
