ShopliftingWhen I was young and impressionable and on holiday in France, I followed some friends into a sweet shop and we each stole something. I was so mortified by this, I returned them.
My lack of French hampered this somewhat - they had no idea why the small English boy wanted to add some chews to the open box, and saw it as an attempt by a nasty foreigner oik to contaminate their stock. Not my best day.
What have you lifted?

When I was at schoolwe had a local corner shop that we called Ramjam's (it was Birmingham in the early 80's, we were 13 and really very un'pc, what can I say).
Every lunch time was a competition to see who could come out with the most filthy loot, with additional points for cumbersome and large items.
Following the loss of a cheap plastic tennis set they decided to only allow 3 school kids in at a time and put a 'minder' on the door.
This just upped the ante, and although plastic tennis sets were now out of the equation, over the following years we managed to free them of many packets of pickled onion monster munch, space raiders and assorted bubble gum.
The one confectionary to avoid the clutches of my wank spanners was sherbet dips - too high on the shelf. A few attempts at a quick 'up sleeve' technique, but the packets were too wide to fit up my blazer.
My failure will haunt me forever.
