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?

Free tea.
Chocolate actually.
At my secondary school in the 70s the drinks machine began to give out free drinks. The queue stretched all the way down the corridor in the end until it was bled dry. The teachers, alerted by the patient well-behaved but unfeasibly long queue, enquired what was up.
And then a couple of them joined the queue (pushed in, though.)
