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?

One last one for TescosSurely must have been done.
In the days before barcoded reduced stickers Tescos used to get a monkey to print the reduced stickers on damaged or almost out of date stock. These stickers had nothing but the new price printed on them. As a poor student I couldn't resist peeling these price stickers off the dented cans of beans and sticking them onto the Tesco finest ready meals and fillet steaks. For a while I ate like a king.
The trick was to chose the most bored looking, young till jockey who didn't really give a shit that £20 of prime beef had been marked down to 35p.
Doubt you can still do this with the barcoded stickers now........but I'm just off to Tescos, might give it a try.
