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?

fight the power
A friend of mine regularly steals newspapers, chocolate and other such things from newsagents. He says he's doing this to "show the Man" or "beat the capitalist system" - but I notice that he only steals things that he wants or needs. Surely it would get back at the Man more effectively if he just stole the most expensive items he could and then threw them away. Or maybe he's just a thief talking bollocks.
