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 As a student, my dad and his chums stole a 'Diversion' road sign and put it somewhere else,
laughing to themselves as they contemplated the traffic chaos that would ensure. Then they had an attack of conscience - what if a sweet little old lady got horribly lost and frightened? So they put the sign back.

I like this story -- they got to have all the fun of thinking up the prank and doing it, but nobody actually got inconvenienced.

This is a QotW comment what's the point of a prank
