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.

    Sure, back when they were made in America, but Stanley has been dog shit at everything they have made since the 80’s when they started outsourcing all their manufacturing to China

      That’s a good point, entirely new owners and all that. Definitely not still selling the “Stanley by Aladdin” thermos from the 70s.
