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?

Christmas shopping in Newcastle one yearas me and the then-missus step in to a department store we spot an ideal present for a friend. I pick up this small wicker basket with a selection of single-serve bottles of wine in and we wander off into the shop to look for socks for her mother.
We didn't find any socks so we headed off to Halfords for something else. It was only when we got to where halfords used to be that I noticed I still had a wicker basket in my hand that we'd forgotten all about, so we head back to the store.
I get stopped by a store detective on the way in so I tell him I've come back to pay for it. He didn't quite know what to do, so he walked me to the front of the queue and made sure I paid.
