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?

How to shoplift
Stealing stuff is very simple, walk out of stores with complete confidence and don't be under 25.
I bought a bottle of whisky just before Christmas and didn't realize that the checkout person hadn't removed the anti-theft device from the bottle (it was inside a tube so I couldn't see it was still on). Over the course of the same afternoon I finished my Christmas shopping with the bottle and anti-theft device still in my bag, must have been in and out of twenty stores or so - I set off the alarms in every one of them but kept walking each time and didn't get stopped by anyone.
I looked like a complete pikey at my girlfriends family at Christmas though, offering people shots from a bottle with the thefty thing still attached - "I didn't nick it, honest."
