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?

A few times...
... I've been choosing my sandwiches and drink at Boots, then absent-mindedly waslked out of the shop. I've gont halfway down the street before looking at the things in my hands and wondering why they're not in a bag!
I always went back and paid, though.
There was one time I was about 7 and I did the same thing with a dissolvable bath-foam bauble from a shop which sold that kind of thing. I was already in the car with my mum by the time I found it in my hand. So.. yes. That was the one and only real time I took something from a shop without paying.
Am I too good to be true? Well - only when it comes to physical items. Otherwise:
Napster
Audiogalaxy
Morpheus
Kazaa Lite
eMule
Bittorrent
;)
