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?

Unfortunately,
the moral is, don't give to hard luck stories.
There's a guy who walks up and down Oxford road all day, asking people for 30p, to make an important call to his brother, (why is there always a brother involved)?
He does this all day, and it must be paying all right. Otherwise, why would he do it?
