The craze for Stanley stainless steel drinking cups reached new levels last week when a woman was arrested and accused of stealing 65 of them, worth almost $2,500, from a store in California.

Police in Roseville, in Placer County, northeast of Sacramento, said Sunday that they were called Wednesday to a report of a theft from a store on Stanford Ranch Road in the city.

“Staff saw a woman take a shopping cart full of Stanley water bottles without paying for them. The suspect refused to stop for staff and stuffed her car with the stolen merchandise,” police said in a statement on Facebook.

    I went through a rollercoaster with this post.

    At first I thought someone stole multiple NHL Stanley cups of which there is one.

    Then I thought she was arrested because of the volume of cups she owned and no other reason.

    I thought this was an onion article. I’ll put myself to bed now.
