Ivey Marie Weiss, 49, of Ocala, was arrested yesterday and charged with shoplifting and engaging in a scheme to defraud after allegedly stealing over $160 in items from the Target store in Gainesville.
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 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?"
