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?

I'd just like to point out
that I don't have that moral code.
I don't steal anything. Period.
I told the guy in tescos the other day when he didn't swipe a bottle of jack daniels properly, could have saved myself £15 but that's not the point.
Most people have a highly developed sense of self-justification - just look at all the times something along the lines of "but they probably overcharged me in the past so it's ok" has been typed in these pages.
