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?

Pfffft!
Great story.
Buy a decent D-lock; it'll pay for itself. My bike got stolen because I had one of those crappy metal rope locks. Luckily, the police found the bike and I was able to collect it from them the next day. W00t! I went out and bought a fat bastard D-lock for £35. The packaging proclaims breaking it apart by force needs the strength of five elephants.
