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?

I have never shopliftedas in taking items from a shop without paying. I may have however misappropriated some items* from work from time to time, although I'm a bit wary of posting details of that on here, for obvious reasons.
However, when I was a student I developed a lightfingeredness unrivalled by any of my circle of friends. In halls, during a room party one night, I cleared the entire surface of my mate's desk (pens, rulers, other stationery stuff, a radio, a metal tankard and an Aberdeen FC scarf among other things) without any of the 20 or so people in the room noticing. Given that his room was about 15 feet square, I was quite proud of this feat. I gave him it all back in the end.
* most of it was low value stuff that would have been thrown out anyway, but it's technically still theft
