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.
The championship trophy in the NHL (National Hockey League, the premier North American hockey league) is “The Stanley Cup”.
Oh. Well, that tidbit hasn’t made it past the borders…
Thanks for the info! :)
At first I thought this might be a hilarious dig on Canada since they haven’t won the cup since 1993… not sure if you’re serious.
I’ve never heard of it. Hockey basically doesn’t exist in most of Europe. Never mind US hockey.
