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?

yep, she opened my mail
it was on a friday tho, before she went to work, which meant that the box had to be kept until monday, when she would send it back to the shop with a letter apologising profusely for her 10 year old credit card fraudster son.
So she hid the box. In the same place she hid everything, the cupboard under the stairs. Saturday morning I retrieved it, took out the books, went up to mr patels shop and spent the contents of the penny jar in photocopying the whole thing.
I win :)
