ShopliftingWhen 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 don't consider it 'stealing'...but when I was in charge of the back door area in Tescos I 'borrowed' a 6 foot tall glass fronted fridge that was left outside for a bit while the front of store was being re-vamped. They were waiting for a company to come and collect it so I had a moment of inspiration - I chose to rob it by waiting for a quiet moment to reverse my Vauxhall Astra in and force a 16 year old to help me lump it into the back (with my seats knocked down).
Next came a devious plan to get people to cover for me for 30 mins while I drove the fridge round to a practise room my band was renting (2 floors up twisty stairs) where I wrenched the fucker up all by myself, plugged it in and then drove back to pretend that 'the binmen must have taken it by accident.'
I drove round to the room about 2 hours later at the end of my shift to find this pungent smelling shit box it the corner of the room.
Apparently, the back of a fridge is quite delicate and it shouldn't be repeatedly smashed on the floor and dragged up a staircase? Cheap crap.
I also used to damage cans of beer and reduce the remaining packs by about 80% and sell them to myself and my alchoholic manager who kept the deal sweet.
Ahhh life was good...
p.s. the fridge was thrown out of some double windows for a laugh when me and the bass player got pissed the next night and then we left it at the top of the bank next to the same Tescos i took it from.
Told you I was only going to borrow it
