We didn't need to know she had the money on her to know she could pay for it, but having enough cash to cover loot is a common narrative in the history of shoplifters. About half are financially secure and educated, and they rarely commit any other crimes.

Shoplifters Anonymous says
it's rarely about poverty, greed, or even need. It's the thrill of getting something for nothing, and that can be additive. One out of every three shoplifters does take it up as a hobby. But what's so thrilling about slipping mineral blush into your pocket? Find out below.

Congrats! You're Our 10,000th Shoplifter!

Oh, the humiliation. I imagine it would've been better if they'd just handcuffed her and taken her to the clink.

Oh, the humiliation. I imagine it would've been better if they'd just handcuffed her and taken her to the clink. Instead, they surprise her with a celebratory band, a party hat, and a cake. And then they let her go! This is in The Netherlands, I think, where they do a lot of things differently. (Maybe it's all the weed floating around?)

Thanks, eBaum's World!

(Maybe even Winona Ryder.) So tell me: Have you ever stolen a beauty product? And if you have the guts, reveal what it was in the comments (come on, the statute of limitations has probably passed).

I suggest you don't do it at this couple's store.

I suggest you don't do it at this couple's store. This dude will hit you with a hammer, and this older lady will beat your ass with a broom. You've been warned.
