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?

inspired by belowI also used to steal pens, not from stationary shops but any pen that wasnt on sale had to be mine. In one meeting at my renting agents office I pocketed about 8 pens in a row by repeatedly reaching for one of his pens everytime I was prompted to sign anything.
I stopped this practice after the guilt of causing mental distress... I stole a pen from a customer service desk at a garden centre, only to witness a middle aged worker have a micro-breakdown about always losing everything she put down, frantically searching for her lost pen even as it was grasped guiltily in my sweaty palms.
I felt awful.
