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?

It's all in the family
A while ago, I worked at an electrical retailer I won't name (but rest assured, you'd have absolutely NO WORRIES there...). Anyway, my manager at the time showed us the best security video I have ever seen, of when he worked at a prior branch.
The scene was a small, quiet branch of said retailer, during the week, about midday. There two members of staff on the floor, and two kids hanging around the TV section (who looked to be about 12 and 13).
Suddenly, in walks this insanely hot woman: and I mean stunning. Instantly, both staff members were drawn to her, as they both happened to be men, and normal, red blooded men at that. Unbeknownst to them however - while ogling this woman, the kids have managed to unhook a new-fangled LCD television from the display, and are struggling to take it out the door.
Right at the last moment, one of the staff members notices the kids - but is *just* too late to catch them before they get into their Dad's car parked outside, and drive off.
The best bit however, comes from what happened next. While everyone is fretting in the store as to what has just happened, and one of the staff members calls the police, the car circles back round, the hot woman jumps in, and off they go again.
So yes - not only had the little sods stolen a very, very expensive TV - but they were doing it under the direction of their "Criminal mastermind parents". I'd love to see what conversation must be like in their family.
"OK - you boys nick the TV while I distract the staff with my tits.". Lovely.
