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?

My Dad was in the police
and they had a ram raid on a jewellers shop on his patch.
Instead of stealing a Range Rover / Transit van, they'd used their own Volvo (fair enough choice of car, if you're going to use one I suppose).
Except the shop was small and old and most of the ceiling came down when the drove the car in. They got trapped and had to be freed by the fire brigade.
