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?

newsagentsOne of those convenience type stores independently owned. They had recently expanded into the empty unit next door.
As a result the other shops door was not in use and they had stacked a display shelf with crisps on in front of it.
They had failed to notice that it backed onto the letterbox.
:)
Wotsits galore for about 3 weeks till they must have noticed the letterbox, or wondered what the rustling noise was at the back of that shelf.
length? about an inch, slightly bent and very orange.

HandsThis one gets a great big I Like This from me. The mental image of a hand reaching stealthily through a letterbox to extract a packet of wotsits before disappearing again made me laugh out loud

^This^Indeed. And eating said Wotsits afterwards would be more than sufficient punishment to negate the criminality.
