This is a question 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 greater good
Whenever using a computer (well, keyboard) that isn't my own, I'll stick my pen into the gap between the keys and steal the insert key.

I just don't like it, and the key is never missed by anyone.

It would be far more evil
to press the key and *then* steal it :)

I have a friend who, whenever he acquires a new keyboard, routinely prises off the caps lock and insert keys, since they have no real function anyway except to annoy you when you hit them accidentally and don't notice.

Do you have a collection of insert keys then? How many do you have? Do you keep them in a case like butterflies?

It's good fun to swap
the "n" and "m" keys, you'd been surprised how long it takes a regular computer user to notice it, most assume they've mistyped.

Once upon a time...
We had some really shite cheapo keyboards in the office. I popped all the keys off and rearranged qwertyuiop to say wankyshite.

Twas quite funny at the time.

.
I just stuck a pen under the letter "k" to see how easy it was to pop off, and it flew off and hit me in the eye REALLY HARD. But its quite easy isn't it? hmmm.
