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?

JonnyDynamite reminded me
About another story from when I was a student in halls. Some of my neighbours attempted to turn our corridor into a park. To this end they procured a cast iron park bench and a large litter bin and brought them up to the corridor. They even went and got a bag of fallen leaves which they scattered around for the sake of authenticity.
Actually, the most impressive part of this was getting the bench past the night janitor and up five storeys, as it was too big to fit in the lift.
