The craze for Stanley stainless steel drinking cups reached new levels last week when a woman was arrested and accused of stealing 65 of them, worth almost $2,500, from a store in California.
Police in Roseville, in Placer County, northeast of Sacramento, said Sunday that they were called Wednesday to a report of a theft from a store on Stanford Ranch Road in the city.
“Staff saw a woman take a shopping cart full of Stanley water bottles without paying for them. The suspect refused to stop for staff and stuffed her car with the stolen merchandise,” police said in a statement on Facebook.
It’s so ridiculous to see it getting pushed in real-time too. A few days ago every news outlet was simultaneously posting stories about these stupid cups or people waiting in line to buy these cups out of the blue just trying to drive the latest craze. There’s no way that’s organic.
