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?

MaplinsBack when I was about 13 or so Maplin used to sell Tamiya car parts and I needed ONE wheel bearing.
They only sold packs of 4.
I only had a fiver including my bus fare home, they wanted £7 for four
I opened the only packet slyly and slipped one item into my inside pocket. Not bad so far but I felt I needed a cover for my henious crime so I took the defiled packet to the checkout and asked if this was the only stock they had as there seemed to be one missing. They didn't but if I wanted to buy the opened packet I could have it for a quid! Bonus.
AND I had enough change to get a chip buttie with scraps.
good times.
