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?

BustedWhen i were a lad of 4, i was on holiday in sunny Wales with the family and we visited a small village post office to pick up some stamps for the postcards.
Whilst wondering around a keychain supersoaker caught my eye, it was awesome it had the little pump to charge it up an everything, i simply had to have it!
All the begging and sulking i could muster couldn't convince dear old mum to let me have it so i decided there and then i'd chore it for the greater good.
I looked around and saw no one was looking and pocketed it, sucess i thought!
Then i heard some bloody old dear saying 'I just saw some kid put something in his pocket'. I was rumbled, well and truely! Had to get it out of my pocket and deny everything, however being 4 my cunning and wiles were not exactly developed so my lies fell on deaf ears. My mum gave me the old 'i'm not angry with you, just disappointed'
The shame was etched into me of years to come
....until i was in a spoils shop* and stole a gemstone keyring, that'll teach em!
*For those of you who don't know what spoils is/was they sell all the defective products that didn't quite make it to the proper stores, for example the keyring i pinched had chips in the stone and the keyring itself was bent and mishapen
Length: longer than i thought!

Spoils are ace; you can pick up so many bargains there.I've bought stuff from them that I couldn't see anything wrong with -- it must have had some minuscule defect that made it not withstand the scrutiny of the proper shops.
