We busted a woman shoplifting in our store a while back. She was mad as a wet cat, flailing around; just flat-out nuts!

She was screaming, “Can I call my Lawyer? Can I call my Husband? Can I call my Therapist?” LOL! This wasn’t her first bust, but this is the first time they actually arrested her, so you know she’s been stealing for a long time.

Lots of whacked-out people roaming around free out there...

“I know she did wrong, but I don’t think she should go to prison for this because of her illness,” he said. “I think she should be in an institution for a while.

She's not going to prison because of her illness, she's going to prison because she stole. Somehow I just knew the old *but she's so sweet* bit would come up.

Sounds like he's got his problems, too.

If this guy knew she had these kinds of problems, where the heck did he think she was getting the money for all this junk? Not only that, it’s obvious that many of these paintings are not just garage sale junk. He should be charged, too.

It’s a copy and it’s valued at $50,000.00? I wonder were the value comes from.
