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?

Not really shoplifting....so much as easter fair lifting.
When I was just starting out at primary school, I had only a vague understanding of tombolas - I watched people buy their tickets and then take a prize. Now I quite fancied the look of the big easter egg on the table in front of the barrel.
I go forth, buy a ticket, and then pick up the easter egg on the table. I didn't win it, I just paid the 10p for the raffle ticket, and walked off with the egg.
The weirdest thing was that nobody stopped me! No consequences, nothing. What an example! :-)
So that was my first stealing experience! 4 years old - my parents must be so proud.
