Two comic magazines (on two separate occasions; they caught me the second time), when I was 11 or so. Probably worth about five euros in all.
They also banned me from the shop, and I occasionally wonder whether that's still in force so many years later. Especially since it's changed hands a few times since then (it was a stationer's in a railway station where I used to hang out during the winter while waiting for the bus, browsing the comics).
A 2p sweet when I was small. My mother said I wasn't allowed to buy it, so I took it, and got caught eating it on the way home. She made me go back to the shop and apologise.
Oh, yes. And a shiny reflective strip from the Science Museum gift shop. Probably worth about 20p, but priced at a couple of quid, which was more than my pocket money could support. I've still got that on my 'shiny stuff' shelf at home.
And at Eastercon, I think that the cash machine at the hotel gave me £10 more than it should have given me. My uncertainty about whether it *had* given me the extra combined with my irritation that the machine charged £1.80 for the honour of using it to withdraw money left me disinclined to try to correct the error.
I think I might have done that about once as a kid, but felt far too guilty about it to do it more. But while I have a vaguely feeling it could have happened I don't have a more solid memory.
I admit I've come out of shops before and realised they hadn't charged me for one of the items I bought or have given me the wrong change and not gone back to sort it out. I should try be better about that.
