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?

Interesting follow upIf "pliers thief" had been taken to court over it, he could have pleaded insanity and possibly been successful if it was the epilepsy that caused him not to know what he was doing!
Even more interestingly, if he had been doing it because he was schizophrenic, he can't plead insanity because a schizophrenic knows what they are doing is wrong.
