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?

Baby StarterApparently, I was a shoplifter as a baby, as was my brother. Both of us had a tendency to pick things off the shelves in various shops and hide them down the sides of the carrier. Rather embarassing for parents, as they were honest enough to return the things we'd 'appropriated' though they could have easily kept them.
But, I've grown up. Now, when I'm being wheeled around the shops in a pram, I at least have the decency to pay for the goods I stuff under my blankets.
