BLACKHAWK — She wore a “Love Pink” tank top as she browsed around the CVS on Camino Tassajara, loading tequila, paper towels, and Reese’s candy into her cart.

But instead of paying for these items, she simply made a dash for her nearby parked Mercedes, and fled the scene. Staffers called the cops and totaled the stolen items at roughly $141.67, authorities said.

By the investigation’s end, police were able to identify the woman — and safely eliminate financial hardship as a possible motive. She lived in a nearby gated community on Country Club Place in Blackhawk, a neighborhood full of 6,000-square-foot homes equipped with backyard tennis courts, Olympic-size pools, and Golden State Warriors-themed basketball courts, authorities said.

Police found the woman’s home — estimated by realtor sites to be worth $5 million to $5.6 million — and attempted to contact her. Instead, they say an unidentified man told them to come back with a warrant.

So they did. The woman was arrested March 26 on suspicion of misdemeanor shoplifting, with a $2,500 bail. In a search of the home, they recovered suspected stolen items — three tequila bottles, toilet paper, trash bags and a two-pack of Bounty paper towels, according to court records.

But the cops weren’t quite fast enough. By the time they’d solved this caper, the Reese’s candy had already been eaten.

No charges have been filed against the suspect, identified by police as a 54-year-old resident of the home.
