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.

She's got a real Mona Lisa smile. I can't tell if she's smiling actively or not in this picture.
