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?

To be fairShops often have promotional balloons that they give away -- I can remember being positively bombarded with the things when I'd take the nippers out for a stroll -- so she probably just thought it was a help-yourself thing. I'd always have asked, myself, but if you've got a bad-tempered brat that won't shut up until it gets a sodding balloon, I can see how you might forego the niceties.
