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?

A NewtI was a kid at a pond with some friends. We were trying to catch some fish with nets. I had caught jack all and my friends (well I say friends, I didn't really have any, these were just people I knew) wandered off.
So I went over to someone elses container which had a couple of newts. I asked around to see who they belonged to to ask if I could borrow them. Not getting an answer, I took them with intent of giving them back later and put them in my container to show off my big catch and get some well-deserved praise!
No-one cared about the newts and I put them back in the pond before leaving. The guy who I borrowed them from clocked me and poured two buckets of the pond water over my head.
