The craze for Stanley stainless steel drinking cups reached new levels last week when a woman was arrested and accused of stealing 65 of them, worth almost $2,500, from a store in California.

Police in Roseville, in Placer County, northeast of Sacramento, said Sunday that they were called Wednesday to a report of a theft from a store on Stanford Ranch Road in the city.

"Staff saw a woman take a shopping cart full of Stanley water bottles without paying for them. The suspect refused to stop for staff and stuffed her car with the stolen merchandise," police said in a statement on Facebook.

I went through a rollercoaster with this post.

At first I thought someone stole multiple NHL Stanley cups of which there is one.

Then I thought she was arrested because of the volume of cups she owned and no other reason.

I thought this was an onion article. I'll put myself to bed now.

"Idk what's going on here, but you're clearly out of control"

Basically. Those people should probably be removed from society

There's actually two.

[-] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 10 months ago

Multiple sources say there are 3 actually. I had no idea.

At this rate I’m just going to say four and hope I’m the winner

[-] variants@possumpat.io 12 points 10 months ago

I'm driving to the scene to add a fifth

[-] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

I’d go so far as to suggest the possibility of a sixth

Yeah there’s like 3 known to exist:

  1. The presentation cup that they actually give to the hockey team when they win the finals. That’s the one they cart around and drop into backyard pools and forget in taxis. I had a chance to see this cup one time ‘cause the guy who travels around with it showed up to a bar I used to frequent and his server was a friend of mine, and they got to talking and my buddy recognized him. He just flat out asked buddy, “you want to see it?” And they went out to the parking lot and there it was in the trunk of a rental car. I say that had a chance to see it in this context ‘cause I was at the bar that night but had already left and the moment just came and went and that was that.

  2. The cup that’s on display at the hall of fame in Toronto. You can just walk up to that one and stand around it. It’s nailed down to its podium but you can just, like, go right up to it and touch it. Maybe there’s a sign there that says not to touch it, I don’t know. I’ve been to see this cup.

  3. The original cup, which is in a vault at the hall of fame. I don’t think you can see that one without some kind of ceremony or special occasion or something? Maybe some paperwork or something? I don’t think that one is on display out in the open and it doesn’t have any of the bands on it, but you can see pictures of it if you search around.

I still get confused when I hear women talking about these. For a split second I always think I'm going to have a new friend to talk about hockey with.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

If you want to talk hockey to me, that’s fine. I’ll pretend to listen while fiddling with robot guts.

My NFL-fan-friend still hasn’t figured it out.
