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?

THE WORLD DOES NOT OWE YOU A FAVOUR!
Oh, I'm such a killjoy this week:
Once again, we have another example of someone who thinks that the world owes them a favour.
Doing overtime doesn't give you a right to steal. Feeling underappreciated or undervalued doesn't give you a right to steal.
I doubt you were 'made' to do the overtime either. It wouldn't surprise me if you were paid by the hour. Either way, I very much doubt you were forced to work.
What shames me is that it seems to be acceptable to behave like some kind of grasping little thief.
