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.

    Not every single day, but quite often, I’m reminded of how much I hate the general public and continue to be amazed at the new and exciting ways it’s shown off.

        My wife and I align in this feeling pretty close. However I’m more rigid with my opinion of “people” in general.

        So many people just want to fit in, I’m just not like that. I’m me, and you get what you get. I’m not gonna play games to be like everyone else or fall into silly things like suddenly Stanley cups have some crazy value associated with them.

        Blah blah blah :)
