This is a question 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?

Did the usual as a child
Buying bags of penny sweets, and fiendishly declaring that there were only 10 pence worth of sweets in my bag, when I'd brazenly filled with with 12pence worth. Ha!

A friend stole a security mirror out of a bank, which was quite impressive. Certain banks, which only have atms inside, allow people in at weekends\over night, by swiping their cards in the door. My friend snuck into one bank, trenchcoat and balaclava clad, stole a bin, went down the road to another bank, and used the bin as a step when dismantling the security mirror fixings with his socket set. Was a great talking point in his flat till it broke.

Surely
they could have checked what card was used to open the door?

Oldest thief-catching trick in the book since that system has been around.

Maybe they just didnt care though.
