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?

Only the one timeWhen i was a smaller penguin we lived near some allotments, being bored one afternoon we started nicking beans out of the nearest patch. We did this a couple of times, run to the beans, nick one then run back and so on. That is until the owner of said allotment patch (who lived opposite, d'oh) came running out of his house shouting as us. We all scarpered and hid before eventually skulking off home.
Once home the guilt set in and i was disgusted with myself. I was in tears and had to wait for my mom to get back from bingo so i could confess. Which i did, tho i think she just laughed and told me not to do it again.
Have never stolen anything ever again thanks to remebered guilt of a 7 year old stealing beans

My mum used to keep an allotment,and near hers was a bloke's allotment full of strawberries. There was a big sign telling people not to nick the strawberries because he douses them with evil chemicals and they have to be washed three times and soaked overnight before they can be eaten. Said bloke confided in my mum that he doesn't put any chemicals on the strawberries, but the sign worked as no fucker nicked any.
