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?

At uni...Relayed to me by a friend: The medical society, at the start of the year apparently had a competition: namely that everyone should attempt to steal/trophy something, with the best thing winning a prize. Competition mounted. The usual rubbish, such as traffic cones, roadsigns mounted up. People began upping the ante: sets of cutlery from restaurants etc. Someone went one step further, and nicked a policemans hat. Everyone is very impressed by the general standard, but one person decides he can outdo everyone. Comes back from a night out, having stolen... An Ambulance.
Dangerous, stupid (he predictably got kicked out), and he should have known better, but I cannot help but be impressed.
