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?

Jeans, but not genes
When I was 15, me and my mates used to go down to Fosters Menswear after school, take a few pairs of jeans into the changing room and put them on under our school trousers, then leg it out the shop.
I held the record - 4 pairs of Pepe jeans. It made me run like I had bum grapes.
But when I took them off down the local public lavs, I realised I'd stolen four pairs of 38 waist and 34 length.
But it was ok. The old man bought a belt and turned them up at the bottom. He looked like John Wayne. He still wears a pair down the allotment.
I told him that I'd found them on the bus. But he gave me a wink and said, "Just don't get caught, son, and next time nick the correct size, you plonker".
