After stealing $600 worth of merchandise from Walmart, a Michigan woman made her getaway on one of the store’s motorized wheelchairs, according to cops who collared her two miles from the retailer..

Shirley Mae Mason, 46, was arresteud Monday night and charged with the theft of the $1200 electric cart and six bags stuffed with clothing.

During questioning by police, Mason said that she decided to swipe the motorized cart after failing to secure a car ride from the store. Mason, according to a police report, said she just “didn’t feel like walking.”

Mason, seen above, was booked into the Muskegon County jail, from which she was later released after posting bond.

Last month, an 18-year-old New Mexico man was arrested for stealing a similar Walmart cart and driving it to a meeting with his probation officer at an Albuquerque courthouse.i

The comments are funny:

“I really want to see the helicopter footage of the police chase on this one!”

“Was it an Obamachair?”

“The only think that could have made this better would be if the cops had shot out the tires to stop her getaway.”

It took the cops 2 miles to catch up to her? She must have stolen the cart with the turbo drive.

I know what you're thinking, but I have an alibi.

“African or European manufactured?”

In deference to the perp in question we should default to her ethnic origin.

Laden or unladen?

We should go with “Laden”. After all it was hauling 6 bags of stolen booty!
