Sounds like you need to do a bit more investigating...
This was the first thought that came into my mind and if so it really isn't victimless.

Good one and I keep laughing about the character review of the officers...

You bring new meaning to the term SUCK
That laugh was worth the wait.
The Frugal Shopper
This morning, after my pancakes, I got called by loss prevention to a local chain store for a shoplifter in custody.
I watched the surveillance tape. This chick stole $240 worth of clothing and perfume. She walked out of the store without paying where she was promptly stopped by store employees. I explain to her that since it's over $200, it's graded as a fourth degree crime instead of a disorderly persons offense.
After a few minutes of hard thinking, she tells me, "No no no I have a 20% off coupon in my purse, so this is still a disorderly persons offense."
I said, " Ma'am, you can't apply your coupon to stolen merchandise. "
She told me that didn't make any sense and was totally unfair.
I was actually speechless.

"Instead they charged her with drug possession, driving under the influence, introducing contraband into a detention facility and three counts of bribery."
Nothing like getting charged twice for the same thing

Come on Carson if the coupon is valid you have to except it
Was it a Bed Bath and Beyond 20% off? If so, this would be covered under the "Beyond". They accept dem-shitz everywhere. She's correct! Get wit duh program

That's an awesome story!
But...just to show how much this is not a black & white case, consider how much the store would have charged her had she bought the merchandise?
Retail: $240
20% off: $48
Before tax: $192
7% tax: $13.44
Total: $205.44
So technically, she was trying to steal $192 from the store and $13.44 from the state of NJ. If she has a very good lawyer, I imagine she could manage to get that to stick. Probably not likely but I guess a good enough lawyer could swing it.
However, if I were the judge in this case, I would ask her if she left the 20% coupon.

This is perhaps one of the most hysterical things I have read in quite awhile.

No lie, I pull up this thread and have people read these stories just for pure entertainment....
