She apparently couldn’t be satisfied by legally stealing from people in her day job.
Clinical strength kleptomania really is the only thing that explains Wells Fargo. 
“Woman Who Works In Finance Likes To Steal.”
Sounds about right.
Best headline.
Thanks.
She forgot she wasn’t at work anymore.
Nice.
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.
Humans weren’t meant to be office workers. It’s not surprising that some people mentally break, when you look around and most people’s body’s are broken down.
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.
She also played Martha in Baskets, and I also thought that was her at first glance.
Kind of reminds me a bit of Marie from Breaking Bad lol. The kleptomania fits, too.
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.)
It is the same, isn’t it? Finding cracks in procedures. Ways to sneak shit.
Basically.
That explains a lot.
Thank you for your service.
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 know that look because I’ve had it myself: my guess is she shoplifts as a compulsion.
Do what you love for a living and you’ll never work a day in your life. 🌈
Woman who loves to steal:
and you’ll never work a day in your life.
Well, she’s probably unemployed now, so that tracks.
She committed the cardinal sin: stealing from the establishment. Steal from the working class with predatory financial practices and fees for being poor and they are fine with it; the powers that be have been trying to steal the working and middle class out of existence for years. But she stole from other companies, stupid lady. After a few handfuls of stores they won’t stand for it.
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.
lol… law enforcement does not get help from target, ffs
Unbeknownst to most, Target has a top-rated forensic services laboratory that provides forensic examinations, and assists outside law enforcement with help on special cases.

Target and Walmart both declined to comment for this story, but in a press release from 2012, Target said it volunteers to get involved with with “felony, homicide, and special-circumstances cases.” In 2008, a Target spokesperson told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that a quarter of the cases it worked on were unrelated to the company itself.
so they look at surveillance video for murderers… they’re not solving outside crimes
Inside, they comb through video-surveillance records and spirit data out of devices that have seen better daysits a “digital forensics” lab… they’re investigating embezzlement… hackers…
the whole “target is the panopticon” thing is a clever viral marketing ploy to reduce shoplifting…that and the thing where they supposedly keep tabs on you for years until you hit a felony total of shoplifting, THEN they bust you and you have to pay $5,000,000,000…
that’s not even how laws work…Exactly, I liked how the first link was from Target
🫡
They absolutely do.

some minnesota local news blog from 2011… yeah ok
MPR is MInnesota Public Radio, not ‘some local news blog’, and Target is headquartered in Minnesota.
amazing
yeah ok

and you still don’t have an argument to posit
posit? like you’re participating in some sort of discussion?
no, you’re very weakly trolling, and i won’t be positing any arguments to someone of your churlish disposition…
Ya, that would imply that Leo’s give a fuck about solving actual crimes.
That looks… It reads like… “Quick… What can I say to get out of this?!”
For a moment I thought it was this one: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/moms-for-liberty-arrest-shoplifting-target-b2477747.html because both did it at Target and exactly in the same way and continued after being caught several times.
But kleptomania is more common than I thought:
The prevalence of kleptomania in the U.S. general population is unknown but has been estimated at 6 per 1000 people, which translates into about 1.2 million of the 200 million American adults.
Kleptomania is thought to account for 5% of shoplifting. Based on total shoplifting costs of $10 billion in 2002, this 5% translates into a $500 million annual loss to the economy attributable to kleptomania.
This loss does not include the costs associated with stealing from friends and acquaintances or costs incurred by the legal system. Besides its grave toll on individuals and families, kleptomanic behavior carries serious legal consequences: approximately 2 million Americans are charged with shoplifting annually. If kleptomania accounts for 5% of these, this translates into 100,000 arrests.
Didn’t she get to steal enough from customers at work? Dude, leave the office in the office.
THEY’RE MINERALS, MARIE.
$160… So like a pant and some beach towels?
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.
Not legal advice:
I would limit to half of it to be safe.
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.
