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 wanna see the mug shot… I’ll see myself out 🤣
I love the photo of the stuff on the hood like it’s some big drug bust
Might as well be, I bet a brain scan would show significant similarities.
Best thing about this craze and scalping trend is that there are thousands of insulated mug brands and many are just as good or better so you can just buy something else if you want.
Unlike the GPU or PS5 scalping crazes.
Unfortunately only these cups go well with those fugly brown L. Vuitton bags…
Unlike the GPU or PS5 scalping crazes.
Could buy an AMD GPU or Xbox/PC.
Your obviously being sarcastic or ignorant. I did buy amd it was still expensive. And what do you think was making PCs expensive other than all of it… The freaking GPUs. Intel or amd.
NVIDIA or AMD, not Intel. But hey what do I know? I’m ignorant.
Intel has integrated gpus on their mobile CPUs now.
Allows you to turn off the discrete gpu and save power on laptops.
Intel had intigrated graphics on CPU from very long ago well before laptops were packing discrete for gaming.
I didn’t mention nvidia simply because they ended up screwing absolutely everybody over by stating that they were going to release some specific cards that were designed solely for crypto mining and then attempted to try and break their own firmware to prevent their graphical cards for gaming from being used for Bitcoin mining but that ended up being some b******* trickery they were a big portion of why the all of the cars ended up skyrocketing and price by allowing people to order multiples so that they could actually end up going for scalping blah blah blah blah blah I didn’t want to give them a platform so I left them out and once again you showed your ignorance By ignoring Intel I’m sorry for the long run on sentence I just don’t care to try and punctuate this
Everything nvidia did drove prices up and made cards more scarce. Fuck them I switched to full AMD only because of them.
And the Leafs can’t even get one.
Single handedly defeated by Florida woman
What makes these better than hydro flask or yeti? Or their ripoffs?
The guy who ran Crocs shoes marketing years ago is the same guy behind this marketing.
Cache. It’s the “in” thing right now. Single-handedly improved Stanley’s profit margin
I mean, technically, any profitable product will single handedly improve a company’s profit margin, but I get your drift – the Stanley Cup crazy is extraordinary.
Crime aside, if I ever spend $45 on a water bottle, you all have permission to kill me.
Its a pretty good thing to spend money on if you use it on a daily basis. I work in a kitchen and need an insulated water bottle or I will literally die. Instead of using plastic I use a reusable bottle. I bought it a year ago and I have not looked back. Yeah, its more expensive than it needs to be and is a fad, but it’s certainly not the most irresponsible thing you can spend $50 on. edit: removed superfluous an
Sure, but there are re-usable metal insulated bottles that are a lot less than $45 and will also last for years. This is $45 because it’s trendy.
Yeah, cant deny that. Relative to no bottle, it’s better. Relative to other bottles, it’s bad. A middle ground would be nice. Id like to think that maybe the fad-aspect of it will increase the amount of water bottle users over all, but I’m very pessimistic about that. edit: spelling
I’ve been reusing my liter bottle of aquafina for months now. Just buy a regular fuckin bottle and reuse it.
I spent like $20 on two off brand metal ones and have used them for years now. Metal is easier to recycle and doesn’t contribute to micro plastics
I mean it would probably just about last a lifetime. Stanley are good bottles. Do you go through water bottles fast somehow?
No, I don’t go through water bottles fast, which is exactly why I wouldn’t spend $45 on one.
I was so confused. I thought it was the hockey NHL Stanley Cup. Then it’s worth more than that. Then how are they multiple? Then are they like miniature novelty ones? Then how do you get so many to be worth that much?
… accused of grand theft.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Hol-leee shit, $2500 worth of consumer goods trash. Put this woman in jail! If the government wasn’t so tied up on witch hunts, like Trump staging an insurrection, we would have to resources to weed out this trash once and for all.
This has to be sarcasm.
I can’t tell anymore.
Poe’s law is a hell of a drug.
You can remain calm citizen. For now. It’s sarcasm. I’ve had it confirmed from the top echelons.

That sounds like a mental health thing, I hope shes getting help.
How so? They’re expensive cups with an active resale market. This looks like generic retail theft.
My wife said these cups are expensive. Did she steal like 3 or 4?
I honestly don’t get these fads. Last one that left me scratching my head like this was the yeti cooler craze, and before that was the instapot craze. Mindless hyper consumerism, that will be used just as much as your last mug, cooler, pot all of which are likely in a landfill now.
Of course that would happen in Roseville. Criminals of suburbia are weird.
This is the most Roseville thing ever.
