Democratic Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi of Castro Valley has been charged with felony grand theft after being caught on video surveillance allegedly shoplifting more than $2,000 worth of merchandise from San Francisco’s Neiman Marcus store on Union Square, prosecutors say.
Hayashi, 45, who has served in the Assembly since 2006 — and is married to Alameda Superior Court Judge Dennis Hayashi — was arraigned Thursday in San Francisco Superior Court. She had earlier posted $15,000 bail.

Surely she could afford a relatively paltry $2000 worth of Neiman-Marcus gewgaws. Theft this large is still a felony. It makes no sense for the woman to risk it.
Even tho she is part of the 1%, she was just trying to get in on that redistribution of wealth that the Dem party is so about.
Watch the story to be she reached for a pack of gum and got a handful of bling instead.
I'm sure she was just borrowing them like Lindsay Lohan.
Rest assured this isn’t the first time,shoplifters like this have a disease and they can not be stopped by themselves.Clepto’s have to steal,they can’t help themselves.They are addicted to theft.
Yeah, sure!
Better strip search her!
what a skank, thief. and married to a judge. nothing like bringing shame to the family. I would dump her @ss by morning, change all the locks and scoop out the cash. Bet she’s done much more.
A Dem stealing..now that is something you don’t see everyday/sarc
Dems steal votes, Dems steal elections, the only difference here is that it was caught on tape
***You Cant Make This Stuff Up Alert***
That one word takes all the mystery out of the story.
She’s a kleptomaniac just like her kleptocrat party.
She must believe the OWS Marxist dictum of “property is theft”
‘79 duece-and-a-quatah was around 8 grand!
...unless she likes the thrill of breaking the law and getting away with it. There’s your rank and file Democrat!
Do middle age hips and wrinkles excite you?
I understand that, but they shouldn't be in positions of public trust where they have access to, and decisions on the disbursement of, public funds.
Did that Hayashi woman steal the other $5 grand? lol
