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?

Churchlifting, i suppose
I was young, rebellious, blah blah blah. Me and my brother were poking around in the church, passing the time (as you do), when we found a big black cylinder covered in candles. taking a closer look, we discovered two little levers at the bottom, which when they were both pulled, made the middle of the cylinder fall out. It fell on the floor, and spilt £1 coins all over the place.
We took 10 or so each, then left, happy with our investigations. Later, feeling bad, we bought our mum a teddy, with the money, to try and make up for it.
We never stole from that church again.
*we* never did... It was my main source of sweet money, every day on the way to school, for almost a year, til the sneaky buggers padlocked it.
