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?

A book about busesAs when I was a geeky 11 year old, this was the sort of thing that interested me. I put it under a magazine I'd already bought elsewhere (this was in the days when bookshops sold only books).
So convinced was I that I'd be rumbled and run into police custody that night - I hid in my bedroom under my bed and cowered each time a car came into the avenue. Such was the fear, it was, ooooh, about 2 years before I shoplifted again.
