If you're going to shoplift, make sure your loot is incapacitated


It's been a while since we've done this but we have a Chicks Committing Crimes report for our loyal reader (he knows who he is).

TINLEY PARK- Police say the turtle in her pocket gave her away.

A Plainfield teenager was arrested Oct. 10 for stealing a turtle from the North American Reptile Show at the Tinley Park Convention Center, police said.

Authorities said a worker at the show saw Michelle Gutierrez, 18, swipe a $49 turtle. The worker followed and confronted her. Gutierrez denied it, police said.

But then the turtle started wriggling in her pocket -- and the police were brought in, police said.

Gutierrez was charged with retail theft.
