Police report to newspapers: There were mountains of evidence.

The comments on youtube are pretty glorious:

Saw this on the local news, police said it was the largest bust they've had in years.

The lady has racked up a lot of charges.

Gentlemen: let's not pretend why we clicked this video

Men of culture, we meet again

It's nice to see she's being honest and unloading her problems off her chest.

Finally an accurate thumbnail.

She's about experience the school of hard knockers

I think i know where to park my million dollar motorboat

let her go! she didnt do anything wrong! i can change her!

I think we need to address the elephants in the room.

As a former retail worker, it must be difficult to steal when evey male employees eyes are watching your every move!

By all accounts, she’s racked with guilt!

Thanks for police for handling these situations.

Huh, learned something new today. It is indeed possible to shoplift silicone.

As an aside, can store loss prevention staff forcibly detain you against your will?

As an aside, can store loss prevention staff forcibly detain you agains your will?

My brother worked in store loss prevention for a time...about 30 years ago now, so perhaps things are different now?? But then, in Iowa, no, they could not forcibly detain them. Verbal only...but it almost always worked. That is, once, ahem, busted , and told to stay put, they almost always did as commended. Go figure. (I can't recall if this was due to store policy or the limits of the law...but I think it was limited by law.)

It is also true that they would, as a matter of protocol, confront the thief just as they were leaving the cash register AND would have all available personnel at the front of the store. So, I imagine that it did look fairly imposing, with at least a visual blockade.

He had some really intriguing "cases" that he helped solve and the associated stories were a riot to listen to. You had your individuals, or pairs, that would steal just to save the cost of buying, but the real pros were the theft rings that would steal and then sell off their ill gotten gains. They were pretty sophisticated.

It seems this case is unique though. The shrinkage would be massive.

That's in Gainesville. She's a dirty gader.
