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?

Stories passed on through the security guard at work...Some thieves were caught in Sainsbury's, after getting away with stealing a 42" flatscreen tv almost every day for a week. How did they get the tvs out the door for so long before getting caught? Easy, they picked up a tv from the shelf, loaded it onto their trolley, and walked out to their van. One day even managing to get the help of one of the floor managers in shifting the tv. Everyone at the door just accepted the fact that they would obviously have paid over at the electrical department before walking out with the tv, and nobody ever bothered to check for a recipt until a run of missing tv's caused them to look into the matter a bit deeper...
I must say I do admire the balls of those guy's, only I don't admire the stupidity of doing the same thing too many times in a row, most people would assume a shop will start paying attention to where the tv's are going after multiple sets go missing over a short space of time.

at our onethe guy came in as the shop opened; dayshift and nightshift staff don't really mix, so we all accepted that he was dayshift.
Cue thirty seconds later the fire alarm being sounded. Turns out the thieving bastard walked right up to the tv's, lifted one, then skirted out the nearest fire exit.
That, i'm afraid, is 'skillz'.
