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.
Factory cost is a few dollars
A few weeks ago they were going for $2,500 each on eBay
You can get high quality stainless steel thermos on AliExpress for $10-$20 (bought a few myself, can’t believe how good they’re), so I guess you’re right.
