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?

Tescos - it's ok to shoplift from there!Now, there's a truckers cafe that I pass on the way to work run by this Irish bloke, we'll call him Paul. Every day Paul would go to Tescos and stock his trolly up with 30 odd french sticks, under which he would stick 2 bottles of whisky. He did this five days a week for about 6 years before Tescos put those damn security tags on the expensive booze. He'd then saunter up to the Tescos till tart and hand over the top baguette and say "I've got thirty today love". Pay for his bread and then sell the whisky out of his trailer. Genius. And they didn't seem to catch on.
I know this isn't particularly amusing, but he did end up with over 5 grand worth of free booze, which I think deserves some kudos.
