And finally… out of the frying pan
Reading time: 1 minute
A shoplifter who underestimated the available space in her leggings when she put a frying pan down them and tried to exit an IKEA without paying was apprehended by security.
Sierra Coleman, 28, was easily spotted by guards who attempted to detain her as she argued with them despite the frying pan being clearly visible.
“It’s a misdemeanor,” Coleman shouted. “Only 30 dollars!”
One of the security guards at the store in St Louis, wryly responded: “You have IKEA property in your pants.”
A bystander asked: “Is that a pot in the back of your pants?”
But it wasn’t. It was a frying pan.
Coleman was eventually arrested and charged with misdemeanor theft and assault after allegedly scratching and biting one of the guards.
