It’s almost like he’s trying to get caught.

A man who managed to steal an entire display case of jewelry from a K-Mart store – and who has collected 78 previous arraignments on his criminal record – was caught again, the Palm Beach Post reports. As the Post explains, the arrest happened after a police officer saw a car that matched the description of the thief’s vehicle based on store surveillance video and pulled it over to conduct a traffic stop. Then the officer noticed the thief was wearing the same distinctive hat that was seen in the surveillance footage – a winter cap that reads “Selfie” in huge, all-caps lettering. No one can make this stuff up.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
