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?

College Vending MachinesWhen I was at college, they had a shiny new coffee machine. This machine had a flap covering the little pocket where your change comes out.
It took me a matter of days to realise that, if you were to push this little flap as far back as it would go, it would jam against the back of the change chute, and block it.
This resulted in about two months of me arriving in the morning, having a coffee, and jamming the change chute as I collected my change. At the end of the day, I'd have another coffee, and pull the flap back down, releasing a whole days worth of change.
Eventually they got wise and filed down the change flap. Still, it made me an easy £50-70 a week while it lasted.
