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?

Not 'shop' lifting so much but a good stealOne night at uni of far too many cheap pints of snakebike & black we discovered that someone had taken a toilet door of the hinges in one of the bar bathrooms. Aiming to go one better than this we decided to pinch it and one small distraction caused and several of us were away with the door pegging it down the main campus thoroughfare whooping "We've stolen a toilet door".
We then took said door on a tour of our friends in various halls to show off our prize and discovered most people are less than impressed when you wake up their whole corridor hammering on the door to show them something you've nicked.
Anyway, it ended up in a friend's bed as we knew they would be out until late and they were bemused to say the least to find it when they staggered back from the pub to flop out on their bed only to find it much less springy than when they left for the evening.
The next morning I woke up to the sound of someone hammering on my door and noticed that during the night the toilet door had mysteriously made it's way into my room. Convinced I'd been rumbled I sheepishly opened the door only to find the handyman come to fix some furniture and a knowing smile when he saw the door. I eventually had to wake up in the dead of night, dress all in black and take the door and dump it somewhere near the bar in the hope that it could be reattached.
Length? About 6 foot

Snakebike - you won't get far on it, but it'll seem like it:)
