CHICAGO: An 86-year-old woman has been arrested here for the 61st time after she was caught stealing items worth about $250, including anti-wrinkle
cream and batteries, from a retail shop.

The woman, identified as Ella Orko, whom the police called a "career shoplifter" was charged with felony shoplifting and a bail of $10,000 was set for her.

Orko allegedly stole five packs of salmon, 11 packages of AA batteries, two packs of L'Oreal anti-wrinkle cream, eight boxed jars of Olay face cream and four jars of instant coffee from the store.

She was arrested on Monday when someone in the store saw her hiding the items in her cloths. The total value of the items is said to be nearly $252, a police report said.

Orko has been arrested 60 times before this incident, first in 1956 for petty larceny in the city.

She has 13 convictions for shoplifting. The woman also has at least 20 aliases, police spokesman Robert Perez said. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/news/world/mad-mad-world/86-yr-old-wo...

OMG! Even at 86 YO she's doing that. I pity on her. She should be a kleptomaniac. Its a disease uncontrolled!

I mean, if she's caught a lot of times doing this stuff, I think people like her should be prohibited from entering in malls or places where they could steal. The government should do something about this whereever this scenario will take place because this is for the welfare of everyone.
