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

    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.)

    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.

    "Woman Who Works In Finance Likes To Steal."

    Sounds about right.

    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.

    Isn't kleptomania a real disorder?

    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.

    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 feel like you just told us the inverse. Shoplift from target, just figure out what a felony in your area is and take less than that first though.

    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.

    When asked why she repeatedly shoplifts when she has a good job, Weiss reportedly said she just didn’t have an answer.

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

    Do what you love for a living and you'll never work a day in your life. 🌈

    It took me a good while, but I FINALLY figured out who this woman looks like.

    It's absolutely Martha Kelly.

    She played the drug dealer boss in Euphoria.

    Is it just me or is she unsettling looking?

    I know that look because I’ve had it myself: my guess is she shoplifts as a compulsion.

    Why is it remotely relevant that she worked for wells fargo?
