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?

M&S policy
I remember hearing of a woman who made fortunes out of Marks & Sparks 'no hassle' refund policy by doing this. (Literally, into six figures)
She would pick up an item in store, and damage it by tearing or with one of those qik-unpick things seamstresses use. Sometimes she would authenticate it by stashing a bus ticket in a pocket or smearing with lipstick, then take it up to the desk and get a refund.
Genius!
