Jayne Rand, of Swindon, England, was sentenced this week to
an 18 month jail sentence after shoplifting $200,000 worth of handbags.
No kleptomaniac, Rand was such an expert thief that the judge, Rhys
Rowlands, felt compelled to remark upon her professionalism:
"How you got away with it for so long without being
caught was deeply remarkable. You showed professionalism and that is why
you went undetected for so long. You travelled the country with the
sole purpose of theft and you made a successful albeit dishonest
business of selling stolen handbags. The values are quite outside of
what the court comes across even from professional shoplifting gangs."
