When 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?

Between my house and my primary school, there was a business with the word SHOPFITTERS in big letters on the front. I was puzzled as to why they weren't ashamed of themselves.
In retrospect, why did I know more about shoplifting than about how to read? Oh, yes. It's because I'm from Stoke.

I misread a shopfitters signage for 'shoplifters' when nought but a young pup too. My dad was pissing himself laughing because I wanted to go in and see what they had.
