In what might be the most spectacularly bad decision of the decade, a state trooper’s wife has gone viral after allegedly deciding to go shoplifting with her child… because she was “bored.”
Yes.
Bored.
Not struggling, not desperate — just “nothing to do today, might commit a felony.”
According to security footage making the rounds online, the woman strolled into the store with her kid holding a juice box, and immediately began stuffing random items into her tote bag with the casual energy of someone picking apples at a farmer’s market.
Her child, bless their tiny honesty-filled heart, reportedly asked:
“Mummy, are we allowed to take that?”
To which she confidently replied:
“It’s fine. Daddy’s a trooper.”
Narrator: It was not fine.
Employees recognized her almost instantly — not because she was sneaky, but because she apparently visits the store often enough that the staff know her husband by name.
One worker allegedly said:
“We didn’t need to call security. We just needed to call her husband.”
When store security did eventually confront her, she delivered the greatest plot twist possible:
“I’m bored, okay? We needed something to do today.”
The internet did exactly what the internet does: exploded.
TikTok comments include:
- “Mama said this is a field trip.”
- “She chose chaos over coupons.”
- “Imagine being grounded by BOTH parents: the shoplifter and the state trooper.”
- “This is why dads take the patrol car to work.”
The best part?
When her husband — a very tired, very done state trooper — arrived to pick her up, the child proudly announced:
“Mummy got in trouble at the store but it was kinda fun.”
Witnesses say the trooper just stared into the abyss like a man questioning every life decision that led to this exact moment.
The incident was handled peacefully, all items were returned, and the only thing the woman successfully stole that day was the internet’s attention — and her husband’s last nerve.
