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?

Not me, but my flatmates at uniOnce stole a 8-foot Christmas tree from the Leicester city centre.
They were out on the piss (I was off at a friends house watching Buffy, I was hardcore) when the came across the Santa's Grotto style display Leicester city council had set up that Christmas in the city centre.
This featured a number of fibreglass elves, reindeer and so on, plus loads of huge Christmas trees.
Deciding that our halls could use some Christmas cheer, the guys jumped the fence and proceeded to haul off the smallest of the trees - a still-impressive 8-foot tree covered in fake snow.
They'd got halfway up the street when a police car pulled up next to them and the officer told them to "Put it the fuck back".
After watching the lads put the tree back and making sure they had started to walk home, the policeman drove off, at which point the guys ran back, grabbed the tree again and legged it home with it.
Having spent the night elsewhere and then going straight to bed when I got in, I knew nothing of the night's exploits.
So imagine my confusion when I walked into our kitchen to find an 8-foot christmas tree (in a tiny student kitchen) dominating the room.
The guys had even wrapped kitchen utensils in newspaper and put them under the tree, and decorated it with kitchen foil.
