What’s that they say about “karma”? Didn’t her sentence for shoplifting get suspended, or didn’t she get lightly punished for that?

Maybe she really is a professional klepper.

[Paine in the Neck]

Lost? I think not. Ask Barack, maybe he knows the fence.

Sometimes I’d like to ‘lose’ something that expensive, but then I realized they didn’t look as great as I thought they should.

This girl (young woman) has a problem.
If she's not a Kleptomaniac I don't know who is. She fits the classic definition to a T:

Kleptomaniac: A person who has kleptomania.
Kleptomania: An obsessive impulse to steal regardless of economic need.

She's sick and needs to be in a hospital, not a jail (imo).

When I borrow something and lose it, I pay for it.

Winona doesn't believe she should have to pay for her irresponsibility?

[End Times Sentinel]

Winona, what ever are we going to do with you? I think the only solution is a good spanking administered by a doughy, middle-aged freeper.

I have liked some of her film performances - but her career is in oblivion now and this kinda $hit isn't helping.

what dumbass would loan it to her? they deserve what they got...

[CaliGirlGodHelpMe]

How very kind and gracious of her to try to pin her crime on the innocent hotel employees. Now there’s a lefty you gotta love.

[kitkat]

Surely she would have gotten a receipt for the jewels. If so, she can prove that she turned them in. Otherwise, she’s either a fool, or a thief.

[weegee]

I'll leave this one to the jury to decide:

[silverleaf]

Winona is toast. She’s going to have hard time borrowing any more bling, plus how many of the celebrity circuit hotels are going to be willing to comp suites to some nutcase who tries to pin their employees with grand theft?

[Quilla]

This reminded me of a wonderful short story, “The Necklace”
by Guy de Maupassant.

Tomorrow's Variety headline today:

Why, Winona?

[nonsporting]

Winona said she put the jewelry in an envelope and handed it to the front desk at the hotel before she flew back to Los Angeles

Always insist on a signed receipt showing the return items on loan. If there is no evidentiary trail, you still have them. It's not like you're returning a rental DVD.

[Trajan88]

ALWAYS ask for a receipt... that is of course she actually handed the envelope containing the booty to the front desk clerk.

Sur-r-r-re she did. Bless her heart.
