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?

Drinks, glassesMate of mine used to work in a bar, and we had a good scam going. He'd make me particulary evil cocktails containing all sorts of whatever was on the shelf, I'd give him a fiver or tenner, he'd give me back the same amount in change and I'd tell him to keep a quid each time. I was getting at least £7/8 worth of spirits in each glass, he made a few quid over a weekend.
Worked well both ways. Except it worked a bit better for me- I used to keep the last glass at the end of the night- full of drink (usually electric blue in colour) and complete with all the straws and whatever other junk he'd lobbed in. So I'd hide it under my coat or waistcoat (hey, it was the early 90s), hold it by the stem through my pocket and walk out.
Picture the scene: 230/300am, pizza shop, everyone drinking coke or whatever, me with a full on cocktail to swill down my meat feast. Still got a couple of glasses collecting dust somewhere in the depths of the cupboard too!
