    She apparently couldn’t be satisfied by legally stealing from people in her day job.

    She forgot she wasn’t at work anymore.

    It’s honestly probably kleptomania. It’s a serious problem for a lot of people, and there’s no way this woman needs to shoplift, she could probably afford everything she steals.

      I liked to steal stuff when I was a kid, but when I did, I always felt extremely guilty and gave the stuff back.

      What I did was develop a career in IT Security over the last two decades. I can “steal stuff” and get paid to do it. Kind of. (It’s not malicious nor is it glamorous.)

      When I was a teen, it was the challenge/thrill. Not saying I stole but saying if I had… This would have been why.

        I did it to just see if I could. It was 30 years ago. But we stole t shirts or magazines. Nothing horribly expensive. It was “can we get away with this?”

    I actually kinda feel bad for this lady. I mean, i know–she works for WF, they’re an evil company–so some sort of cosmic justice may apply… but i just can’t help but wonder what life must be like when you legit have that kind of disorder. There’s no plausible reason for the behavior–even she herself apparently recognizes that. From the article: “When asked why she repeatedly shoplifts when she has a good job, Weiss reportedly said she just didn’t have an answer.”

      Maybe when your job is to sit in a glass office overseeing a couple dozen cubicle workers and your day consists of using various Microsoft Office products, useless meetings, and answering phone calls, this is the only excitement she’s able to get.

    Didn’t she get to steal enough from customers at work? Dude, leave the office in the office.

    I’m surprised that more people don’t know not to FAFO involving Target. When a company has a lab that’s sophisticated enough where LEOs ask for assistance on unrelated investigations, that’s never a good sign.

      She stole $1281 of stuff over multiple shopping trips.

      Target can ID faces and track thefts across multiple store trips.

        One thing that any would be shoplifter should take away from this is NEVER steal from Target. Target waits and tallies up what a person has shoplifted until that dollar value exceeds what is required to charge them with felony theft, in Florida‘s case a dollar value greater than 750, and then has that person arrested.

        I’ve heard that target waits until you hit some amount that makes it a felony then busts you hard

        Which basically means you can steal from target, but only once.

          Yeah, there is usually a dollar amount that you need to hit in order for charges to actually be meaningful in a number of states. For example, in CA you need to steal over $950 for a judge to have the option to make it a felony. If it’s under $950 it’s a slap on the wrist.

      In each instance, Weiss allegedly fills a shopping cart with hundreds of dollars in merchandise, then scans and pays for a few items to generate a receipt she can show to a store associate as she walks out.

    Something similar happened in Albuquerque recently with a doctor/medical executive. She has a salary of almost $300k a year. It’s unclear what makes people do this - entitlement? Greed? For thrills? I can say though from experience running a small independent retail art supply store, the people who stole from us the most were well-off women who were otherwise good customers. It seemed like they thought they were entitled to a “special discount”, like they resented that we consistently made money from them and didn’t offer special deals.

        Does it matter? I thought the standard is “knowing right from wrong” in terms of mental illness defense.

          It can. We has a local here who had some kind of compulsion to throw rocks (big ones) off of overpasses at cars.

          He knew it was wrong, and the guilt evidently fucked with him a lot, but he also couldn’t stop himself. Eventually he had to turn himself in and hope the state didn’t execute him or something.

          I think?

          But I was simply providing one possible answer for the person above wondering, “what makes people do this?”

        I suppose it could be some compulsive thing, but I doubt that everyone stealing like that has a bonafide mental disorder.

    Well she won’t have a good job anymore. Loooooooooool.

      It’s the bright red lipstick on thin, downturns lips. Also the “oh shit” look in her eyes as she realizes she’s completely fucked up her life. No bank will ever hire her again.

      She looks like someone trying extremely hard to keep it together. This is unsettling to see because it reminds us how complex and delicate a set of circumstances it takes to keep a person sane.
