This is a question 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?

This is a QotW answer Forgive me, for I have sinned
My crime still weighs heavily on my mind.

As a student, I was in desperate need to jazz up my work folders, and they only way I could do this was with rub-down lettering.

I strode into WH Smiths in Bracknell, lifted a packet of Times New Roman (assorted), mooched around the records and magazines and slunk out with my booty.

Value: 35p

It didn't help. I failed my A-Levels, as all my revision time was wasted putting rub-down lettering all over my work.

24 years later, and I'm still on the run.

This is a QotW comment Surely...
...being in Bracknell was punishment enough?
