Lucy Roberts managed a jewelry store for a year and would bring jewelry home with her, falsifying inventory records. She left the job and later went on a cruise, sending selfies to her former coworkers and telling them how much fun she was having. Police arrested her at the airport when she returned to the UK.

No selfies. do we have to say this one?
No sharks. yes they’re cool, but using sharks for evil is beyond even the vilest villains.
