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?

Humiliation for all my family!I have so many stories of theft i should be really ashamed. Many moons ago I was on holiday at a caravan park with my parents, younger brother and sister. My parents were watching a show with my sister and I was in the arcade with my brother - we discovered you could role a penny into the return slot of Green Beret and get a game for 1p instead of 10p. After getting sick of Green Beret we turned our attention to a fruit machine. An hour or so later we were about £20 up. I think continually going back to the change kiosk for pennies raised suspicion. Next thing you know we're being marched to our parents who were still sitting in the middle of the big hall watching the show. The cashier made a really big deal out of the whole thing in front of everybody in the hall. We went home the next day as my folks couldn't stand the embarrassment.
