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 almost accidently stole something.Its 6am and ive been up since 3am to take a 2 hour drive to the airport. Ive checked in and through security. I drifted into a store, and I get a packet of polos to rid a morning breath that would cut through bank vaults and a paper to read before my flight.
As I got to the check out to pay, I suddenly thought, umm im sure I got some polos?.. Where are they? A bit of soul searching later, and I discovered I had stuck them in my pocket!!!! I subconciously did it, and have no idea why!.. In the worst possible place as well! - an airport! Imagine missing an international long haul flight for such a stupid thing.
I pulled them out and paid for them. The check out girl didnt seem to notice. But I wonder if the security guard did?
