This is a question 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?

a few years back
when I was a retail monkey for Halfords, we were out the back unloading a delivery lorry. The unit next to ours was Currys. They also had a delivery truck in. We had a few staff unloading and always did it in relays so someone was always outside with the open lorry as it was a rough area and theft from an unguarded truck was very likely.
When we finished we were standing around outside chatting and watching the currys folk unload all their fridges and washing machines etc. They werent leaving anyone outside to guard the truck. As we watched some guy who had obviously been watching from the bushes nearby sprang out and grabbed an under-counter fridge or freezer - dunno which it was... He hoisted it up above his head and took off at a run. We watched in amazement as he ran a good 500yds to the end of the retail units, hoisted the fridge up onto the wall seperating us from the local housing estate and climbed over himself. We never said anything to the currys staff as we reckoned anyone who can run that far with a fridge over their head deserves to get away with it.

Obviously not the bloke i mentioned in Netto a few posts down
He couldn't have run the 500 yards, never mind with a fridge.

Olympics
I reckon we as a nation should trawl these housing estates to identify criminals like this.... then get them on our team for the Olympics!

Anyone who can run 500yds with a fridge over their head would probably win gold!

Just don't put them in the relay race. You'll never see that baton again.
