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?

Thieving to order
When I was a small boy I went to a posh private school that actually had its own book shop.
A couple of my classmates would steal books to order for you. They didn't charge you any money, it was just a goodwill thing.
Stupid at so many levels, of course, but it seemed so exciting and naughty at the time.

That's quite charming that they just gave them to whoever wanted them. Awww.
