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?

I stole from the Hoff.I was on a random shopping spree with some buds in Cheshire Oaks (near ellesmere port) and upon leaving the complex we noticed that the Hoff was having a book signing session at a local, well known book shop. We waited for 3 hours in Maccy D's until a line started to form and went over to see how much his book was.
"10 quid?!?!" I asked my mate, after expecting a £20 bag of shit.
"looks that way," he replied, "where do we pay for it?"
I looked around and could only see a horde of fat, sad, 40 year old council mums waiting to meet the Hoff. Upon approaching one to ask where the tills were she shouted,
"GET TO THE BACK YOU LITTLE FUCKERS!" and set about trying to fight me. A security guard grabbed me and threw me and my mates outside - still with our freebee books in hand - so we joined the back of the queue, waited another 2 hours until we met the Hoff, shook his hand and got our books signed for free.
I sold it a few hours later for £37 on ebay even though it had been signed to 'Big Poppa Sexatron' and the description on ebay included this story of theft. Now that's accidental stealing at its highest level.

Clickied......mainly due to making me laugh at the thought of a sweaty eBayer rabidly bidding on a stolen book dedicated to "Big Poppa Sexatron"!
