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?

Smack Gee'sRound where I'm from (Edinburgh) they have gona a step further and made these shit knockoff stalls into fully operating shops, called Cash Generator, but more commonly known as Smack Generator or even Smack Gee's for obvious reasons.
A whole shop done up like they don't sell knocked off shit, but anyone can see the likes of the feckers that sell shit to these shops, and well, they don't look like they need the money to do some simple house repairs or buy clothes for their kids.
Thats a thievery corporation if their ever was one.
bastards

Pretty handyAnd they have started asking for receipts these days. But you do have to admit some of their clientele (and I use the word loosely) are a little skeevy...

In Australiathere's a chain of pawnshops called Cash Converters. One of their better-stocked shops in Melbourne is on Smith Street, also a vibrant centre for afficianados of heroin.
