The Great Tampon Caper

A female clerk from a gas station calls in a theft. She explains that another female, who she knows, came into the station and asked her if she had any tampons. The clerk said no, so the female concealed a box under her coat, headed to the bathroom, and after she left the clerk found the empty box in the stall and called the police.

When the officer arrives at the gas station he asks the clerk how much the stolen tampons cost, hands the clerk $3, and tells her "tell that girl she owes me $3," and leaves without any further action.

I'm thinking the officer didn't want to have to deal with trying to recover the stolen goods :)
