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?

Not proud, but not hungry either...
I've never nicked anything big, or pricey, but its remarkably easy to "forget" to pay for something like gum or crisps, or the odd snickers in an offy. 'Specially if you have a long-sleeved jacket on
Also its the easiest thing to half-inch a muffin from Nero and such like.
Probably stems from me being a kid, used to come home with all sorts of crap; little unimportant electrical components, or fuses, tiny bulbs, magnifying glasses, you name it, 99.999% of it utterly useless to a five year old me.
How do you test for kleptomania?

Not sure how to test for it...
...but to treat it, take two of these.
And if they don't work, get me a stereo.
