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?

Another traffic cone story...Whilst at university my flatmates and I accumulated a huge assortment of traffic cones, flashing yellow lights, men-at-work signs, those stripy red and white plank things, and other assorted crap over the course of a year's drunken theivery. In approved student style, all of this rubbish served as ornamentation in our lounge.
When the time came to move out of the flat, we were faced with the problem of having to dispose of it all. So under cover of darkness we used it to create our own roadworks in the street outside. It really looked like a proper roadworks - IIRC we even got hold of a big piece of old plywood to lay on the pavement to cover up the nonexistent 'hole' which all of the cones, barriers, signs, and whatnot were set up around.
Said pet roadworks stayed there for several days until the council, or possibly some other students, carted it away.
