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?

Shoplifting SolutionWhen I was still at school I used to work part-time in a shop which sold, amongst other things, sweets. Lots of schoolkids used to come in after school to buy sweets for the way home and as it was a 1 man job it could be hard to keep track of the thieving gypsies. Anyway, my boss noticed that we were down on a little on a certain type of lollipop and even though he reviewed the cctv footage we couldn't work out who was nicking them. Then he hit on a masterstroke. Just before the "school-rush" he put a note in the tub of lollipops which read "I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!". We never found out who the kid was but I bet it put the fear of god into his/her young mind because the thieving stopped after that.
