It’s almost like he’s trying to get caught.

A man who managed to steal an entire display case of jewelry from a K-Mart store – and who has collected 78 previous arraignments on his criminal record – was caught again, the Palm Beach Post reports. As the Post explains, the arrest happened after a police officer saw a car that matched the description of the thief’s vehicle based on store surveillance video and pulled it over to conduct a traffic stop. Then the officer noticed the thief was wearing the same distinctive hat that was seen in the surveillance footage – a winter cap that reads “Selfie” in huge, all-caps lettering. No one can make this stuff up.

Why This Jeweler Chose Wilkerson

Mark Lauer is the owner of Mark Michael Diamond Designs, the Minnesota-based jewelry gallery known for exceptional and uniquely designed diamond jewelry. Though he loved creating the beautiful jewelry his business was known for, retirement was an exciting alternative to the 60+ hours a week he’d spent building it up. He called Wilkerson to help with a retirement sale. “I did talk to two other companies, but I just didn’t feel they offered the same services that Wilkerson did,” he says. “I knew Wilkerson had the expertise to follow through and give me the service and results that I wanted. They’re the number one rock stars in this industry.”
