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?

I say 'Deal'
Last week, I was enjoying a pint in my local with my mate and decide to spice up the evening with a go on the Deal or No Deal game on the itbox. In the middle of the game (I was doing rather poorly, may I add) the machine suddenly decides to pay out £50 in pound coins. "Why's it done this?" I think, closely followed by "who cares?" as I shovel the mound of coins into my pocket and my mate and I are away into the night before anyone asks questions. Technically it wasn't mine, I didn't win it, I just happened to be the closest to the machine at the time.
Never again shall I stick two fingers up to Mr. Edmonds as he's robbed me of 50p.
