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?

Another tale from the security guardThis one instead based in Asda, where some new thieves decided they wanted to gain themselves a few tv's free of charge with a pretty novel plan.
While most of the wee group headed over to the electrical department, one member was sent off on a wee mission elsewhere in the shop. To be exact he headed over to the clothing/furnishings area of the shop, where he proceeded to set fire to some of the products sitting there. In the ensuing chaos of a real fire, the rest of the guys then opened one of the back doors, backed up a van and loaded in a selection of the tv's on offer in the shop.
Luckily caught by an eagle eyed staff member sweeping the shop for remaining customers who hadn't quite figured the meaning of the fire alarm.
