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?

Is it just me?
Everytime i see those vans outside newly built/refurbished shops with "shopfitters" written on the side, i always have to do a double take...
I think i always assume that they're shoplifters who are so good that they like to advertise the fact...
maybe they're for hire...
Like the A Team...
In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground.
Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.

At last.....
YES! Every bloody time!
And then I usually make the mistake of giggling and when the person I am with asks what I have found so funny I tell them...
And have to bear the look of pity they give me.

YES!
I thought it was only me.
There's an industrial estate not too far from where I live and one of the units has huge signage which announces "Young Brothers SHOPFITTERS"
Which I always read as shoplifters.
