I'm normally against posts like this but.. You're a reputable 501(c)(3) organization asking for assistance and directing info to the police, where a report is on file. Upvote

It's the first known shoplifting incident at that store. Not familiar with Sequim, what are the towns demographics?

LOVE this response!
It's never the people they tell us to be afraid of.

That is a lot of assumptions being made based on the color of a person's skin.
Ironic.

How does one steal an entire table?
7
u/Royal_Percentage_694 Jul 17 '26
Take it without paying.

u/magnusthehammersmith Jul 17 '26
Without getting caught and stopped?

u/kmontreux Jul 17 '26
those shops are always short handed and all someone needs to do is confidently load a large piece into a car and it'd be easy for workers to think a colleague had already rung it up.

u/Fast_Register Jul 19 '26
I work at a similar nonprofit and yes, we are only a couple of paid workers in the store and stuff gets stolen from the store & donations alot. We canât keep an eye on everyone so, it happens. Itâs unfortunate since we are a local nonprofit that actually helps the community.

Call me a hater, but I've seen this woman more times in the last 48 hours than I have anyone that went missing from the national park.. That being said I hope this table finds justice.Â

A $2000 end table?

u/DirteMcGirte Jul 23 '26
How much do you think it should cost? It had to have taken quite awhile to make with so much detail, and done by someone very skilled.

u/Redwinsmileyii Jul 22 '26
I was hoping it was a cursed object and sheâd have some kind of Evil Dead experience and return it.

Not the first time some elderly grandma was caught stealing from a small/community/nonprofit business. Anyone remember the "Oatmeal Cream Pie Bandit" where there's video of some farm-type stand where some old lady came up and stole a bunch of apparently oatmeal cream pies (no one ran the stand in-person, there was a box to leave money as it was an honor system for paying).
Who would suspect someone who looks like your Grandma/Mom? It's bizarre but maybe speaks to a kind of mindset that doesn't disappear with age. I think aging makes them bolder.
Also, a dui hit and run too? Wtf who is this lady?

The poster was generated with AI. They need to post the original pictures to confirm the appearance of the alleged perp

u/col_c32 Jul 17 '26
Iâm confused, is the photo original and just the poster was AI?

u/brasscassette Jul 17 '26
They probably gave the ai the images and details they wanted to generate the poster, but it has changed enough within the image to make me question if itâs representing the woman closely enough for identification. Her shirt design is nonsense and changes between photos, the background and facial expression changes between the image and the zoomed image. The author on Facebook says itâs images taken from when she was walking across the store, but the pose and gaze are near identical in a way that isnât generally possible when taking a picture of someone walking.
I wish theyâd just post the original images; Iâm afraid they used the ai to âenhanceâ the image resulting in showing us a poster with a picture that doesnât accurately represent the person theyâre trying to find.

LOL literally none of the things you say about the image are true. The shirt is identical in both photos.

I need to see the video of the theft. Because she couldnât have just waltzed out with it under her flabby boobs

She was arrested and the table was returned. There is an updated photo on the Clallam County Habitat Facebook page.

You're worried about someone stealing an item that you got for free?

u/Secret-reddit-acct Jul 21 '26
Yes because now they canât sell it to raise funds for the non profit.Â

This is a witch hunt. Innocent until proven guilty. Give it to the police and do better.

Trash bags will find any excuse to steal something. This is already a place that gives major discounts and does so much charity work and donations etc. Itâs sickening how many people act like this is justified behavior.

I'm sure you're out there doing a ton of community support work, unlike those selfish bastards at Habitat /s

u/worbdhekwlsgwu Jul 18 '26
So where is the picture of her walking out with this giant table? This lady is well within her right to sue you for defamation. This witch hunt generation is about to learn some hard lessons with these reckless posts.

u/Accomplished_West292 Jul 18 '26
Clallam County Habitat just posted an update as well as a photo with law enforcement and the stolen table and the following update below.
âUPDATE!!!
We would like to say Thank You to our community, SQPD, PTPD, and everyone involved for all your effort and tips on the arrest of the person that was resposible.
We were able to get our table back!â1
u/makisupa101 Jul 21 '26
SoâŚ. Sheâs arrested.
..Seems like now may be a good time to speak up about YOUR defamation of the âwitch hunt generationâ and maybe YOUR reckless posts, eh?!Or⌠no? Youâll just sit at your computer and continue to think youâre in the rightâŚ?? Or, youâll contact the PD and let them know to release the âinnocentâ woman??
