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?

have i ever shoplifted?that all depends on your idea of shoplifting....
i was once accused of shoplifting, dragged into a back room and searched, my crime, looking at the t-shirts / other metal paraphanelia in shop that i thought to be rather cool at the time, what was i accused of stealing? a 1p silver stud (you know the sort people put on leather biker style jackets to look ard - i never ever owned any of them on account of thinking they looked rather gay)
i did once (or twice) help myself to packets of ciggarettes from a mates shop, but it was more of a standing arrangement for when i was skint, a few days later id be "kam, heres the £3 i owe you" "you owe me £3?" "yep pack of fags the day before yesterday" "fair enough"
maybe im wasnt as bad a teenager as i was told i was.

LovelyI don't know if you'll come back to your post for replies, but just wanted to say that your honesty and Kam's attitude are wonderful.
I might be greedy capitalist scum like most of us, but I love the fact that at least little pockets of the world can work this way.
Bravo, sir. Please have a click.
