Shoplifting
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?

the opposite of shoplifting?
like chickenlady I've never shoplifted.
However, once I was buying a book from waterstones and when I got home I found the till person had accidently put another book in the bag. After reading the back of said book I decided I wanted it, so instead of just keeping it, I went into waterstones, told the person what had happened and PAID FOR THE BOOK.
Yup, I could have just kept it but I decided to pay for it.
