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?

Blaena!Blaena was a guy who when we were teenagers would attempt to hang out with us, but never really fitted in.
I was working in a computer shop about 5 years after and I was reading the local Evening Post. I glance in the "Crimefile" section of the paper, which on that particular week had a photo of Blaena shoplifting aftershave in Boots in Mumbles. I point this out to a few of the other workers and chuckle to myself, thinking nothing more.
2 weeks later, we're all working in the shop and in walks Blaena. He sheepishly picks up a game, comes to the counter where I am standing and asks if it is any good.
I shout in a Brian Blessed esque voice "I SAW YOU ON CRIMEFILE!!!!" and burst out laughing. Everyone shopping in the store at the time stopped and looked, and Blaena's jaw hit the floor before he legged it. Oops, did I say something loud?
