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?

Inspired by Enzyme... and his story of daring bicycle valve-cap theft, I thought I'd provide a comparison.
My brother, along with mosst kids I knew (deprived area and all that) would pilfer such replacements from parked cars. Due to some exceptional ignorance, he once set about such bmx modification with a white Ford Fiesta as the source of parts. He failed to notice the bright orange stripes, blue light, or police constable.
Perhaps if he wasn't quite so obtuse, he would be an international art & diamond thief, like Enzyme* and not doing twenty-to-ten in the Pen. for that one-eighty-seven, in the seven-eleven.
(*Enzyme may actually be an upstanding, law-abiding citizen for all I know)

...Law-abiding for the most part - but gleefully non-upstanding, if I can help it. Laws can be soooo flexible, after all...
