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?

ladderfor years my sis had an unusually long wooden ladder leaning against the wall-well, along the floor, reaching from the front door all the way to the back door....it was an annoying bloody thing 'cause at some point you were bound to fall against it, catch yer shins kind of thing..when eventually she came to move, she suggested that I (of all folks) should cut it up and burn it...why me? ses I
cos it was you that stole it ses she.
I'd turned up one dark a.m. (drunken would seem to fit the bill) with the said extremely long ladder, had awoken the house, arranged the ladder and had then off the sodded, never to mention the ladder again.
it burned well-much like I will, in the flames of hell, according to mr. grimes my old primary school headteacher.
