Not shoplifting but think my sister's 'making off without payment' is funny. Years ago she left a Wimpy and got half way back to the train station before realising she had not paid so headed back, on entering the restaurant she saw a man sitting at the table she was at but the bill was still on the end of the table, so she grabbed the bill and headed to the cashier, at which point the cashier shouted loudly for the manager as the 'person that had not paid her bill was back', meanwhile the man sitting at the table she previously occupied was wondering why some random woman had walked in and taken his bill to pay! Eventually all sorted and she was not arrested
