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?

A few years ago the ex and me went to visit some of her friends over in Ruislip. We had a few drinks, and repaired to the offie to pick up a few more. We bought the drinks, but something caught my eye. This being the days before chip 'n' pin, they kept a cup full of pens on the counter. A rather fetching plastic cup in the shape of Jar Jar Binks's head. When the shop assistant's back was turned, I picked it up, pens and all, and dumped it in my bag. Everyone else there saw it, plus the whole shop was CCTVed up to the eyeballs so I knew my crime would not go unnoticed for long. I scarpered back to the house and we carried on drinking.
The next morning, with a hangover from hell, I awoke to find Jar Jar staring accusingly at me. I felt guilty as fuck, and then the paranoia started to creep in. I was terrified for weeks that the video footage would come back to haunt me, and that I'd be arrested for such a stupid, petty crime. I've never been to Ruislip since, and I left Jar Jar behind at the ex's friends' house, too ashamed to even take my prize home.

other people might condemn you for being a petty thief, my only criticism is that you wanted a Jar Jar Binks piece of merchandise.
