BERWICK, Pa. — State police say a 78-year-old nun was caught shoplifting $23 worth of coffee, snacks and toiletries from a store in central Pennsylvania.

Troopers say Sister Agnes Pennino was seen shoplifting the items from the Surplus Outlet near Berwick on Monday afternoon.

WNEP-TV reports police determined the woman captured on surveillance video was the nun who lived about 20 miles away at the Saints Cyril and Methodius Convent in Danville.

Store manager Zane Kishbach says he "couldn't believe it that a nun would actually do something like that."

More likely the nun has dementia.

BTW the priests weren’t preying on little children. Teen aged boys.

At least it wasn’t booze, smokes and condoms.

I’ll go with dementia for $100.00 Alex.

She’s nearly 80, there could be some health issues.

But it’s more FUN to be unkind and uncharitable!

[batterycommander]

Was she a fat nun?

What is up with 78 YO people? First the Trump supporter, now the nun...lol.

Where did you read that?

[Boogieman]

Was she shoplifting all along, or is this a new habit?

78 is the new 20.

[Night Hides Not]

Gator, you find me a 78 YO woman that looks like this, and I'll agree with you...lol.

I feel much younger than my current age, but I'll never say "60 is the new 20"..."60 is the new 40?"

[Buckeye McFrog]

She’s 78? What’s her ab workout routine?

[Cen-Tejas]

.....I’m sorry my points elude your cognitive capacity.

[Black Agnes]

My first thought as well.

Either she’s been very very sneaky about it over the past decades OR bats have begun to recently roost in the belfry.

I’d bet on the latter.

Hope she gets the care she likely needs.

I think her point is not about right and wrong - of course it was wrong. The point is that the problem is one of homosexuality. Preying on teenage boys is a sign of homosexual behavior and grooming, not that of a pedophile.

Your comment is disgraceful. You should request to have it removed.

Or having some sort of health problem affecting her brain. Long before we realized my mother had Alzheimer’s she did things that she would never have done before.

I agree. We had a neighbor who developed a fixation on metal items. He would steal people's folding lawn chairs, bicycles, even license plates once his Alz's got bad. Fortunately, he would store everything in his backyard shed. His wife would then return many items to the neighbors who knew to ask her.
