So true. I'd be afraid to steal a roll of toilet paper from the men's room stall. She wanted to get caught.

[Image] From iwatchstuff, Airport police arrested actress Bai Ling (Lost, Revenge of the Sith) after she stole two celebrity magazines and a pack of batteries from a gift shop at Los Angeles International Airport (mugshot above), according to the AP:
"The items had a total value of $16, said Sgt. Jim Holcomb of the airport's police department. The 41-year-old actress was detained by a store employee who summoned police, Holcomb said."
First rule of celebrity shoplifting: Steal something big. That way, when you get busted, people don't go, "Damn, what an idiot." If you're caught boosting a Ferrari, that's totally understandable and, also, hardcore. Stealing batteries? Everyone thinks you're crazy. Or an emotionless robot like in Star Wars. What was its name? Oh yeah; Hayden Christensen.
UPDATE: E! News reports Bai Ling blames "huge problem of breaking up [before] Valentine's Day." I guess she just needed the warm fuzzy feeling of ganking some Duracells. It all makes sense now.

Boosting stuff from an airport store is stupid. What has higher security than an airport?
