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?

DrunkenAfter a particularly epic night out of uni, the following was recounted:
One friend had a handbag *full* of glasses; shots, wine, pints, a selection of everything. She didn't notice this until she got home - I had climbed behind the bar, one friend was passing me glasses to wash, and another was putting the (now clean) ones in her bag. How I didn't get kicked out that night, I do not know (especially given I was recently bodily removed from the same establishment for giving someone a hug).
The next part really did take the biscuit though... Another female friend had inside her bag... Another handbag. Nobody has any idea how she got it, where it came from. We did track down the owner and return that one, however.
After a similar night, my friends and I staggered bleary eyed into our shared Uni kitchen. Where we found a supermarket trolley. Given that we lived on the fifth floor, it was regarded as something of a triumph.
