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?

Does avoiding paying train fares count?One time, bored with the usual hiding in the bogs trick, i simply crouched down on the floor and a couple of mates put their coats on top of me.
It worked a charm. My mates paid their fares and the conductor carried on walking, ignoring the suspiciously high pile of coats.
I actually had the money to pay the fare. I even had it in my hand as, if spotted, i was planning on saying that i'd dropped my change and my mates jumped me when i was crouching down to pick it up.
Good thing he didn't spot me, as i doubt that would have worked.

Tears workYou could have all got out of paying by pretending to cry when the inspector asked for tickets. 4 of us did it one time by just putting our hands over our faces and all howling like toddlers. The inspector just gave up after a while.
However, thinking about it, it probably only worked as we were teenagers travelling on a Saturday. I wouldn't recommend doing it on the way to work as an adult in rush hour.
