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?

When we were at the tender age of 9 or soMy friends and I used to stop by the villge shop on the way home from school.
There was a pick'n'mix, where you filled a little paper bag with your sweets and then told the oh-so-trusting shopkeeper how much you'd put in.
My chums and I eventually sussed that we could get away with adding more than the declaired ammount of sweets to the bag; one or two extra and you could get away with it.
This continued for a while, until one day when I, in a fit of greed, loaded my little bag down with double the ammount of jelly coke bottles and foam shrimps than I declaired.
I was caught, kicked out of the shop, and from then on all bags got inspected before payment.
My friends were not impressed with me.
