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. 
Do what you love and you’d never have to work!
She forgot she wasn’t at work anymore.
Nah she just likes to take work home with her. Doesn’t have to be her work, clearly.
Nice.
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.)
Thank you for your service.
It is the same, isn’t it? Finding cracks in procedures. Ways to sneak shit.
Basically.
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 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.
Get a cat?
Didn’t she get to steal enough from customers at work? Dude, leave the office in the office.
“Woman Who Works In Finance Likes To Steal.”
Sounds about right.
Best headline.
Thanks.
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
faced with evidence that includes public radio and the atlantic, you decide it’s all bullshit because your overwhelming mountain of evidence to strengthen your premise is - zilch?
look dweezle, assert your own facts with citations or admit you’re wrong, you sound like a right wing bozo.
wow, what an overwhelming mountain of evidence!
you resorted to childish name calling… which is very right wing of you, ummm also you seem like a genocidal dictator!
and a person with poor table manners!!!p.s. dweezil is pretty cool anyways, so thanks for the compliment.
and you still don’t have an argument to posit.
what a weak mind. nothing but distractions and garbage floating around up there huh?
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.
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.
When asked why she repeatedly shoplifts when she has a good job, Weiss reportedly said she just didn’t have an answer.
Well she won’t have a good job anymore. Loooooooooool.
This is Wells Fargo we’re talking about, she’s getting a promotion and allowances to work from
homejail :/You kidding? This is exactly the kind of go-getter that meshes with Wells Fargo’s principles.
Yeah but she can hit the ground running in her next role!
$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.
Lol, I guess you’re right, not really what I was going for but to each their own.
So that’s how I can get a new xbox. Noice

I’ve heard that target waits until you hit some amount that makes it a felony then busts you hard
Which basically means you can steal from target, but only once.
Yeah, there is usually a dollar amount that you need to hit in order for charges to actually be meaningful in a number of states. For example, in CA you need to steal over $950 for a judge to have the option to make it a felony. If it’s under $950 it’s a slap on the wrist.
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.
Sound legit
Not even a pair of pants just a pant lol
How much could a banana possibly cost?
Depends on the size of the banana
Is a pant just one side of a pair of pants?
No, it’s the front half
Something similar happened in Albuquerque recently with a doctor/medical executive. She has a salary of almost $300k a year. It’s unclear what makes people do this - entitlement? Greed? For thrills? I can say though from experience running a small independent retail art supply store, the people who stole from us the most were well-off women who were otherwise good customers. It seemed like they thought they were entitled to a “special discount”, like they resented that we consistently made money from them and didn’t offer special deals.
Isn’t kleptomania a real disorder?
Does it matter? I thought the standard is “knowing right from wrong” in terms of mental illness defense.
It can. We has a local here who had some kind of compulsion to throw rocks (big ones) off of overpasses at cars.
He knew it was wrong, and the guilt evidently fucked with him a lot, but he also couldn’t stop himself. Eventually he had to turn himself in and hope the state didn’t execute him or something.
I think?
But I was simply providing one possible answer for the person above wondering, “what makes people do this?”
it definitely still matters…
Of course it does.
I suppose it could be some compulsive thing, but I doubt that everyone stealing like that has a bonafide mental disorder.
This is a problem having cashiers would solve.
Finally, the bankers are being held accountable.
I know that look because I’ve had it myself: my guess is she shoplifts as a compulsion.
Why is it remotely relevant that she worked for wells fargo?
Also known thieves.
Part of it is also that she was not likely stealing for survival.
In addition to the other answers, theft is a particularly bad look if you work at any bank, the place people trust to hold their money safely.
My money is FDIC insured, she can steal a little from the bank as a treat.
I see you’ve never had an account with them.
