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?

I have never stolen from a shop
ergo I haven't shoplifted. Yet everytime I hear a theft alarm when I'm in a store I think it's me.
I must have stolen something accidentally, or put something in my pocket.
I pat myself down and check my pockets.
I slow my walking as if to show any security cams that I'm in no rush to escape.
Best of all, is when I'm some distance away from the store I get a massive rush and sense of 'phew, thank god for that!' - and it takes a few minutes for the feeling to subside.
Yet I've never stolen a thing.
