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?

not paid for this...when i was a shelf stacking monkey for a small inner city version for a pucker celebrity backed supermarket chain, i used to chase shoplifters down the street...if i spotted them in time.
i worked in the Beers, Wines and Spirits (BWS) dept where all the high value stock was kept, namely spirits and batteries (Jack Daniels was the spirit of choice for most junkies).
now this is in Edinburgh, close to Princes St. Seen the start of Trainspotting? It was like that, except the one occasion when an entire van of policemen happened to get in the way of our chase, making my task a whole lot easier.
to try and cover up his deceitful intentions the junkie had picked up a box of sushi first, nothing suspicious about that all is there!?

Dangerous?Look at it this way: if he's fast enough to catch up with the junkie, he's fast enough to outrun him if he gets violent.
