Police in Galesburg, Illinois, have busted a woman who had stolen $600 worth of meat from a grocery store in this relatively quiet little town in northwestern Illinois, near the Iowa border. This is why you don’t shoplift on an empty stomach, people! You always steal more than you need, and the next thing you know you’ve got a cart full of buffalo burgers, meat water, and Christmassy porkchops.
Store workers were able to successfully lure the woman back into the store, so the meat’s fine. Well, it’s fine as in edible, but it’s still dead. Your guess is as good as mine as to how she got out of the store with a whole cartload of dead animal bits.
Apparently, the woman’s blatant theft was part of a deliberate attempt to get arrested. You see, she was lonely and wanted to visit her boyfriend, who is an inmate in the Knox County jail. Apparently, she got so drunk she forgot that A) jails have visiting days so you can see the inmates and B) women are kept in jails separate from the men.
