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?

Free beer.I used to be in a band, and we used to do gigs all round the local pubs in Torquay.
There used to be a bar there called the Piazza - still there now but called something else - which was pretty much the main venue for live music in Torquay. The inside was done out like an Italian square, with a balcony running around the top. Oh, and for some reason I never quite got to the bottom of, it had a full sized Fokker Triplane hanging off the ceiling in the colours of the Red Baron.
Anyway, we were playing away while our soundman did his stuff from the closed balcony. Ordinary gig, no drama, but our sound was a bit weird. Glaring up at the balcony had no effect and we wondered what was going on.
We take a break and head upstairs to see whats happened to find our soundguy blind drunk and slurring about the place, twiddling knobs on the desk at random. WTF?
He'd discovered that the upstairs bar, which was closed, still had all the beer pumps turned on and he'd been helping himself as fast as he could for the last hour or so before he got rumbled.
Disgusted at this blatant theft, we leant over the bar and joined in.
Our second set was a bit ropey.
