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 me but someone else storyWhen i was at uni I was part of a group that went flying and drinking and was involved with the forces.
We also had to do the odd sporting event as well, and obviously, because we were students things had to be taken.
One year we attended a sporting event down south and had to steal somehting for the group. Cue two of our finest getting a ladder and stealing a local shop sign (proper shop lifting I suppose).
We managed to get the sign back up north but a couple of days later our CO gets a call from the local police explaining that the 2 muppets had been caught on CCTV, and not only that but they were wearing clothes that marked them as being from our group!
Result of the story is that they had to drive all the way back (was quite a trek) and return said sign to avoid punishment!
