Such a strange combination of items, who is buying mayo on the black market?

    People keep talking about the value of the items stolen but for most shoplifters it’s not about the value of the items, it’s the thrill of the experience. For many it’s a sort of a compulsion.

      This looks like multiples that are easy to move or trade. Theft for a small gain. Methheads and really poor/desperate people do this kind of shit where I’m from. Like a crackhead with a box of candy bars.

      Definitely could also be mental illness. Either way, in a perfect world, she’d talk to a social worker instead of another cop shortly after she was arrested.

        I would say if you are addicted to meth or pretty much any other mind altering drug you are in fact suffering from mental illness.
