Texas Klepto Caught In String Of Planet Fitness Heists
File this under a new reason to not go to the gym!
A woman in El Paso, Texas was caught and charged with stealing credit cards out of the lockers at several Planet Fitness locations across town!
The woman, Ruth Angelica Barraza, was dubbed the "Planet Fitness Thief" and authorities believe she is connected to ten different thefts across five different Planet Fitness locations!
Barraza was caught after a gym-goer at the Planet Fitness in Horizon City, Texas returned to her locker to find the contents inside her purse, including credit cards, were stolen and alerted the authorities.
And just what exactly did these stolen credit cards get used on? A shopping spree at Ross. The terrible crime was followed by public shaming, and rightfully so, from users online! Many called it "broke activities"- and many shamed her for the fact that she used the stolen credit cards on Ross! One user wrote:
out all places to shop out girl went to ROSS. homegirl didn’t ball out at the outlets or the fountains. she said let me ball out at ross where the clothes are always thrown on the floor and my show size is never an option on the rack. frugal klepto.
And probably my favorite comment of them all:
"I thought this was a judgment free zone!” - her in the back of a cop car.
The jokes came in, but some had even more questions, like how did she get the lock open? And what will the gym do now to further protect their clients personal items? While we await the answers, you can see more jokes here.
