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.

robbery gone wrong
Back when I lived in South Wales there was an petrol station/off-lisence nearby that was often robbed at gun-point by local scallies.
One day we were told that the owners had fitted bullet proof glass in order to avoid future robberies, pretty useless I thought as what thug in their right mind would want to shoot through the glass from outside, but meh.
Anyway, turns out I was wrong. Soon afterwards, a pikey apparently went in with a shotgun and demanded all the money in the till. The till-monkey, in a surprisingly brave move, jumped over the counter, ran outside, locked the doors and called the police.
As the story goes, the pikey happily proceeded to fill his pockets with cash and booze before realising he was locked in, just as the police arrived.
Moron.
length x width x height = sorry
