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?

Thieving scumbagsThe sky is the limit, you can buy a lock called a "Fahgheddaboudhit" which for £100 which is pretty much impervious to attack and best used in conjuction with other locks to ensure that the thieving pikey scumbags will think twice about nicking your bike.
However, a slightly more devious approach is also good. You can fit a tracker device to your pushbike these days, if the cops aren't too busy harassing drivers and old ladies who've forgotten to pay their TV license, they've been known to track stolen bikes to lock garages full of pilfered loot.
Unfortunately, they don't go as far as amputating the hands of thieving pikey chavs although it can be arranged once you know where they live.
