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?

World's most rubbish shoplifter strikes again...Having got away with the great pistachio heist, and emboldened by that success, there was no stopping me.
The front tyre of my bike had shed the little cap from the inner tube valve. That's the kind of thing that upset my childish sense of order. Something had to be done.
Finding myself in Halfords one morning, I made a beeline for one of the display bikes. I was interested in it - but not for the reason the assistant thought.
Quick as a flash - quick as a slow flash, anyway - I unscrewed the valve cap, put it in my pocket and, nochalantly as you like, left the store.
Impressive, huh? Truly, I was master thief.

I imagine you adding a new, slightly more daring, theft to this QOTW each day.By the end of the week you'll be stealing diamonds and famous paintings.
