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?

HMV Exchange ProgrammeAs a teenager my musical tastes would change on a monthly if not weekly basis and as such I would end up with a load of CDs I no longer cared for. My scam was to round up all these unwanted CD's in january and return them to each of the counters of the three HMV's in the centre of Birmingham as "unwanted christmas presents". I never had the receipt so always asked for an exchange instead. Result! A brand new collection of CDs.
I was also spectaularly proficient at pilfering clothing in Rackhams by picking up stuff in menswear on the second floor and putting it in my bag whilst alone in the lift up to the third floor. Never got caught.
