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?

B&Q
B&Q is so easy to steal from. Its now become a personal mission to empty the place every time i go. Factor in the monkeychavs that work the tills (although, inexplicably there is usually one seriously attractive 17 year old girl on one till) and its like, well taking stuff from B&Q. Make sure you choose a till with the shortest possible 'worker'.
There is a design flaw with their POS counters. From the monkey-chav-cashier-hybrid's POV, they cant see the whole of the contents of your trolley, especially if you put it close up to the desk, theres a sort of prism space that they can only see if they lean right over. The shortest person cant even do that. Stack some goodies in that space, and just be a little careful in what you load on to the counter. Take it easy, dont load everything in one go, do it bit by bit and dont rush them. If you get it right, they will total up the till having not noticed the items in the "theft-prism" but by now, you've started to put things back havent you?
Too easy, a bit of practise and you can literally refurbish a small house on about half your original budget. Try for bigger and bigger items each time. You are essentially doing this in plain view - as any SL expert knows, thats how you do it.
