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?

a cheeky ciggy theft...Now obviously this was a "friend" and not me...
sat at a table in a bar, and this table was sat next to the cigarette machine. The said machine wouldn't give out any cigarettes for some reason.
someone would come over, put in money and get no cigs, so they would press the coin eject button, but the money wouldnt eject.
as soon as they walked away i tried the eject button and the money came out, they just hadn't pressed it hard enough.
meanwhile the guy had gone to the bar and asked for his money back. the barman and the guy came back over to the machine and pressed the button, explaining that you just have to press it really hard. obviously he was a little confused as no money came out cos we had swiped it already.
this whole process repeated itself about 4 times that night til the barman put up an out of order sign. paid for a couple of rounds of drinks for us!!!!
