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?

Poe leese (its how they say it on The Wire)
The police are cunts. Listen to this.

A friend in the City of London Police told me on his first day at Hendon, they're in a classroom. To make a point, the instructor asks casually, "who here has broken a law?". One guy puts his hand up and mentions that he didnt pay for some bottles of wine at sainsburys, and only noticed when he was unloading the car at home (no it wasnt Richard Madeley).

At that point, a uniformed officer arrives, and arrests him for shoplifting. He is questioned, sainsburys are asked if they wish to press charges and off he goes. They never saw him again.

It takes YEARS to even get anywhere near Hendon for a lot of wannabe coppers, if youre one of them, dont fucking say naffink mate you were never there.

Some standup on some comedy club-type programme I vaguely recall...
...mentioned the 'Po lease' thing - she thought it was ironic as they're there to enforce the law, but that 'tinky-winky rental' is breaking it. Made me choke on my tea, that one.

except he didn't break any law
Theft requires intent. Since he didn't intend to steal the wine, he didn't actually steal it.

Granted, he didn't pay for it either, but that's what police like to call "a civil matter, sir"
