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?

Tears work
You could have all got out of paying by pretending to cry when the inspector asked for tickets. 4 of us did it one time by just putting our hands over our faces and all howling like toddlers. The inspector just gave up after a while.
However, thinking about it, it probably only worked as we were teenagers travelling on a Saturday. I wouldn't recommend doing it on the way to work as an adult in rush hour.
