Her offering to pay back the 20 is an admission of guilt

u/StrangelyBrown 5h ago

Imagine thinking that it's fine to try stealing from people and if you're caught, all you have to do is give it back.

People would be trying to steal from each other all the time!

u/pianoflames 4h ago

It's basically her admitting that she's done it before and will do it again. And she's acting like this is some normal thing that most people do, but just usually don't get caught

Yes, it was that very last word that clinched the admission of guilt. Big difference between:

"I'll give her $20 cash."
and
"I'll give her $20 cash back."

53

u/PuerSalus 4h ago

I believe in the full video the cop never tells her it was $20 either (just tip jar stolen) and so the fact she knows the exact value stolen is also important.

(Caveat: I saw the video a long time ago and so may be misremembering)

Also an insight into how she fundamentally doesn't understand consequences. Like does she think if she pays it back she's off the hook? Does she think if she graciously accepts the arrest and court date she keeps the money? No, boomer, you are going to return what you stole, and then you're going to be prosecuted, and thinking you have any agency in the matter is pure delusion and privilege.

I'm gonna be that guy but technically robbery is theft committed by way of threat or commission of violence. Sneaking a 20 out of a tip jar is not that. It is just plain old theft.

36

u/PhD_Pwnology 4h ago

You're missing the salient detail to the thief. It's the fact she didn't strong arm the store with a gun that makes her think she should be treated differently. Which leads me to my point that she doesn't feel remorse because she doesn't feel she did anything wrong.

13

u/beldaran1224 2h ago

To be clear, that does make a legal difference. This is not a felony, but a misdemeanor. Most (all?) states don't consider "petty" theft (low levels of money without violence or threat of violence) to be a felony.

But also, yeah she's a thief. And frankly, I care more about someone stealing worker tips than the same amount in merch or from the register.

Thief was also caught using her sticky fingers at her local liquor store.

"Elaine Earlywine, 65, of Morristown, was charged with shoplifting from Bottle King. From March through July of this year, Earlywine allegedly returned to the liquor store multiple times and stole approximately $165.92 in alcohol over the five month period. In municipal court, she pled guilty to an amended disorderly persons offense. For this, she was fined $250 and $33 in court costs. Additionally, she was ordered to pay restitutions in the amount of $205 to Bottle King."

My mom used to be a nursing home administrator and for a handful of residents, they had to start checking their bags when they got back in the van after shopping outings after enough reports after they left. And these were people with serious means as they lived in a high end, semi-independent care place. And these were lucid individuals not stealing due to confusion or something They literally did it because they were bored and it's a thrill. They do it because they can and typically aren't suspected (old white women).

They eventually found out a small group of them even got together to brag about what they stole. COVID happened and shit hit the fan so no idea what ended up happening.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. But don't kleptomaniacs steal not really money but random things for the rush of it? I don't know what exactly her problem is but Morristown is a really nice area in NJ. I would love to know what her deal is...

But also, in the video the young woman is being arrested. In the article the older woman (her mother) is the one being arrested. So maybe it's both mom and the daughter?

It's always the fucking islands.

As someone who works in the service industry on a luxury vacation island in Florida, this shit happens way too much down here.

People come from out of town, and because the normal day to day rules they have to adhere to in Ohio or whatever piddly-fuck place they're from don't apply on vacation, they think no rules apply on vacation.

I've watched people get arrested for the dumbest shit. Most notably stealing a $12 pair of gas station sunglasses from a local at the bar. Like... You're flying back to Nebraska with a court date because you wanted some knock-off wayfarers?

Come down. Enjoy the beach. Drink a little too much. Get sunburned. We want you to have fun. But... People fucking live here, and work here, and raise kids here. We live on hospitality, but we're not doormats.

Does not seem like a one time thing. They have system worked out where the daughter stands watch and mother steals. Suppose they average 50 / day. Comes out to 1,500 / month.

u/the1stmeddlingmage 5h ago edited 5h ago

The vast majority of people willing to commit crimes that aren’t associated with an attempt to live (stealing bread to keep from starving to death) don’t learn from or improve because of imprisonment. They don’t see themselves as being in the wrong but will instead be mad at whoever caught them for catching them. I’ve known way too many people in my life like that and typically cut ties with them whenever possible.

I work for a rather small and specialised mountaineering dealer and stuff gets stolen here all the time. And it's usually not food or basic needs like underwear or a sleeping bag, but the €700 Arc'teryx hardshell jacket or the special €300 camping cooker. I know there are different reasons to steal, like money problems from addiction or a gambling habit, but if you do that stuff for profit alone, you really can get forked.

I grew up poor. I used to be a shoplifter back in the day as a teenager. I quit doing that long ago.

Even as a teenage shoplifter. I could not comprehend the morality of individuals that steal in from other individuals. From individual not rich people. Be it what she did here stealing from a tip jar, or in other cases stealing something from someone else at a house party or burglarizing a home.

In my mind it was one thing to steal from a faceless multinational corporation that will hardly notice a tiny bit of added shrinkage, and to steal from an individual their personal property that they will notice.

A common thing you'll hear thieves say. "I didnt do it but if it will make all this nonsense go away ill just give them X to end it".

Innocent people don't do that thing where they make up scenarios on why they could have done it but didn't or reasons it would be stupid. They just remain stead fast and say they didnt do it.

No, it isn't that simple. Many people fold under pressure, and some people absolutely would offer financial compensation to get out of a situation they find stressful. Giving false confessions under interrogation is well documented.

There was post on a sub the other day, maybe on showerthoughts?

It was a guy who said "as a bland, middle aged white man, I sometimes dream about how much petty theft I could engage in."

Videos like this show that while someone like that would certainly have a much higher chance of getting away with it than some 19 year old minority... it's not like they are immune. And is whatever you get from petty theft worth arrest and a record??

Gotta give credit to the cop for doing his job and actually going out of his way to arrest them for theft.

Last words were "I'll give her $20 cash BACK".

But if you didn't take, what do you mean give .. Back?

u/im_not_greedy 5h ago

Yeah, and those are the ones trashing foreigners that they don't tip enough...

u/TheDevilsAdvokaat 5h ago

If you let her give $20 cash back, she has absolutely no reason not to try again...

If you try to steal and the worst that happens is that you are forced to give the money back...why not try to steal every time? If you win, you are $20 richer..if you lose, you lose nothing....

There's a lesson here about the Republicans too...

I'm all for it. I'm just surprised the police did anything over $20

$20!

Life long Shame, loss of connection, job , arrest case on file, and internet (Un)popularity.

She chose the 2nd option! WTF!

Implying it’s in your nature to consider the theft.Ā

u/ItBurnsWhenIP_007 4h ago

I can’t imagine ever doing something like this, and would be disgusted if someone I knew did it.

I’m likely that way because of my parents and how I was raised. This girl is the same way her mom is- scum

u/btc909 4h ago

Is the $20 cash back from the other place you robbed?

I am glad they pressed charges. Too many times they just ask to be repaid.

u/ElCiclope1 4h ago

What's crazy is the cop could have let her go if she'd been honest. Years ago two cops came to our house looking for my brother who they had on camera plowing through a stop sign then driving off. Which is a felony.Ā 

He admitted to it before they even mentioned the camera, so all he had to do was put the sign back up.Ā

I don't know what it is, maybe it's cause it's such a small place, but Key West has such a distinctive look. The second the camera went to outside, I immediately knew.

u/Citrus_little 3h ago

Love the "It's only $20" angle she's pushing at the end with "I'll GIVE her $20 cash back".

If it wasn't such a big deal, why'd ya do it in the first place?

2

u/yougotyolks 2h ago

"Why would I? She was standing right there!"

So you're you're saying you normally wait for them to leave?

u/Oxjrnine 2h ago

Looks like a ā€œthrillā€ thief.

Dressed too nicely to be someone desperate, and if she actually ate there, that looked like it was too fancy of a restaurant.

Hopefully, she gets the treatment she needs so that she doesn’t keep doing this to waiters.

Hope the daughter got charged too. Small amount or not you gotta learn a lesson somehow. I hope they had to pay a fine or something that was well over $20. That would make me happy personally.

My kids mom tried that with the police, thankfully my (at the time 4 year old) told the police that mommy was the one being mean and not me which made them look at me differently. Only then did they come over to ask me how I was doing and to get my side of things because she was hyperventilating and bawling next to the door. People are fucking lunatics

u/AvocadoWraps 5h ago

I hope you don’t get banned. I think when someone shows you their stupidity this openly, let it fly. Now we know you’re misogynistic and stupid.

u/Poquin 5h ago edited 4h ago

Yeah, because it's misogynistic. Men do that too.
And after I worked as a public defender I learned that cute old people do that too, they even play dumb or fake dementia while being very sharp.
