Shoppers entering the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Attalla, Alabama got a reminder not to try anything funny; Two shoplifters stood outside with signs reading, “I am a thief, I stole from Wal-Mart.”
Attalla City Judge Kenneth Robertson Jr. ordered the two people to wear the signs for four hours each during two successive Saturdays. One of the shoplifters, Lisa King Fithian, 46, wore the sign from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to avoid a 60-day jail sentence. Another convicted shoplifter was at the store from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Fithian maintained her innocence. She said her conviction was based on a misunderstanding; She said she was taking a $7 item to the service desk because it would not scan
