CAPE CORAL, Fla. — Authorities are looking for a shoplifter who was run over twice by her getaway car after stealing $1,200 worth of designer purses from a Cape Coral store.

A T.J. Maxx security guard told police she saw a woman stuff six designer Dooney & Bourke purses into her pants Tuesday morning and walk out of the store. The guard says she was confronting the woman when a car pulled up.

A report says the shoplifter tried to get into the vehicle but fell out and was run over by the car. She then got up and jumped onto the hood of the car. As the car was driving away, the report says the woman fell off and was run over again. On her third attempt, she finally made it into the vehicle.

Police are using the car's license plate and a check the woman dropped to track her down.

Designer bags are usually ugly in my oppinion. You pay for a label, a name, and a reputation. Most are manufactured in the same manner cheeper bags are made. Dirty little advertising secret. I learned that when I studied graphics design and advertising in the 80's.

Best to look for quality in manufacturing than the name.

So if she was run over twice, was it a two for one Sale? :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: Stupid crook news for the day!

That is why I went back to get a degree in Fine arts and Art education. Forget the stupid ad buisness........too cut throat and dirty. I agree these days most things are made on the backs of poor people.

They last for generations, huh? That is good, but the style is out of date the minute it hits the stores almost! Fads are fickle! But wait 20 years................buy some old ladies bag in a yard sale for a dime......... :lol: :lol:

Pretty impressive that someone can get run over by a car twice and still be able to get up and get back into the car. Must have been something like a Yugo or electric golf cart, cause if it was a real car like a 72' old's C/S or 65' Newport, it would have been over for Bozo after the first time.
