“Oops, I accidentally walked out with a $325 Coach purse.”
That explanation might work a little better if employees hadn’t watched her rearrange the display and put another black bag where the Coach purse had been.

She was arrested for misdemeanor theft.
There’s forgetting you’re holding something… and then there’s redecorating the display before you leave.
