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?

I asked mum for some sweetsand I thought she said yes, but she'd said no.
I put them on the counter with the rest of the stuff and when mum had paid for everything I toddled back to the car with her and set about enjoying my Opal Fruits.
My sister whined that she didn't get any, and mum said "Well Sam didn't either"
And she said "Yes he did, look!"
"SAM! YOU STOLE THOSE!?"
And I cried and explained it.
Mum never bothered paying for them, though, because we ended up owning the shop for a few years.
Then she married the boss.
Then we went bankrupt and can't pay the rent.
I can't help but feel that it's my fault somehow.
How's that for shoplifting? Accidental and everything!
