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?

attempted freddo theftNot far from me is a Cadbury's reject shop. on the counter there is a basket full of freddo chocs. I was browsing the mis-shapes one day, when i heard the checkout lady announce in a booming voice "are you going to pay for that!". On cue, the whole shop became silent and everyone turned to look at this shoplifting woman, who was, for want of better words, a bit of a posh type. She was rather sheepishly holding a Freddo. "I thought they were free!" she stammered. "No, you have to PAY for them!" replied the scary checkout lady, in a slightly sarcastic tone. Everyone in the shop rofl'd, and she ran to the door, red faced and threw the offending freddo at the counter.
