A woman in Florida was caught shoplifting at a local Walmart, then claimed to be playing a game called "21." The woman's story and supposed game didn't add up and she ended up losing in a big way.

Rules Of The Game

Apparently the rules of this so called game is to steal a bunch of stuff from the store. You walk your cart right out to the parking lot and unload all of the stuff you stole into a random car. Then you run away. First off, what do you win? All the stuff you stole went to someone else. Is this game even real?

Fox 13 Tampa said the woman was later identified by deputies as Amber McCann. McCann was seen by employees loading items she stole into a car. The store's loss prevention officer said she stole almost $1,030 worth of items from Walmart. When she saw she was being watched, she ran away from the vehicle she unloaded all the items in.

Game Over. Walmart Wins!

Amber was immediately detained by authorities and the car was searched. When searching the car, they found all the stolen items, a joint partially smoked, small bags of marijuana, hashish, used glass pipe, methamphetamines, and more. They even found a safe with silver bars, copper bars, and platinum bars.

Police asked her what she was doing and she told them she was playing a game called "21." After being caught, she fessed up. The car wasn't just a random car. It was her boyfriends car. It all makes sense now. But is "21" a real game? In Vegas we know it is.

McCann was charged with grand theft, possession of marijuana, hashish, drug paraphernalia, Alprazolam, and trafficking of methamphetamines. Large list of charges. If that's how you win the game, she definitely finished first. If it wasn't, then she lost badly and then won a trip to prison.

SWNS recently published results of a survey done with over two-thousand US parents.

On the flipside, going alone costs them an average of $133, while shopping with their kids cost them an average of $179!

Start by shopping alone!

Results of the poll also showed that going alone allowed parents to buy different items from different stores. A whopping sixty-Five percent of the two-thousand polled said this. While alone, forty-four percent of the parents look for groceries, forty-percent can look for beauty products, forty percent search electronics, and thirty-eight percent shop for clothes. All with no children with them!

If you do shop with kids...

Now, if you do decide to bring the kids, the survey percentages drop a lot! Thirty-five percent of parents surveyed claimed that it was a struggle having the kids along! This lead to bribery to behave. Forty-four percent of  parents said they bride their kids to be good while shopping. Of that forty-four percent, only eighteen percent say it works.
