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?

Lucky, lucky, lucky.At the beginning of our 6th year at school myself and three mates found ourselves in the local 50/50 shop (not that local really - about a twenty minute drive and for those who don't know a 50/50 shop is one where you give them stuff to sell and split the profits - like ebay before the internets). We were looking for fancy dress stuff but never really found any. Instead we bought a couple of bow and arrow sets with the suction tips and a small cricket set - probably cost less than £5. Anyway in the car heading back to school a hand shoots forward between myself and the driver "'ere stick this on" he said brandishing a copy of the first Kylie album on tape. It still had the bloody 80p sticker on it but my mate decided it was only worth a five finger discount.
He's a doctor now.
