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?

Toddler ShopliftingWhen i was a lot younger I went to the shops with my mum, I'd just got used to walking so wandered here there and everywhere.
One fateful day my mum took me to the local shops for some bits and bobs, i pick up some sweets (i think they were Jelly Babies) and get told that no, I can't have them so they get put back. Job done and heading home when mum sees a very small Obitim carrying a nice, new bag of jelly babies as proud as you like.
Yep, that's right, I'd managed to pick up another pack, wander past the counter and out with my prize!
Got back and mum spoke to dad and asked what to do and the sweets were placed in a cupboard out of my way and I was told off, but was later given these small babies of jelly anyway! Not sure what supernanny would say about that but I've never stolen since so perhaps it all worked out in the end!
Apologies for length but it's my first time
