Shoplifting
When 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?

Staff "benefits"
Like many of you have pointed out, staff regularly take advantage of their positions within companies. The last bar I worked in was no exception. For the first 4 months I worked there everything was hunky dory with no problems other than the fact the manager (john, we shall call him for that was his name) was a class A cock. However, after he got sacked the new manager soon informed us that we had a massive stock shortage. Namely £7000 worth of drink and the safe was £500 down. Turns out the staff had been having just one or two many free drinks! Suffice to say, all staff priviliges were cut and we were watched by the new eagle-eyed management team constantly.
Moral of the story, John might have been a cock but at least he let us party.
