Now you know what's under the habit. Coffee, snacks and toiletries. 

78-Year-Old Pa. Nun Caught Shoplifting Soap, Snacks

BERWICK, Pa. (AP) – State police say a 78-year-old nun was caught shoplifting $23 worth of coffee, snacks and toiletries from a central Pennsylvania store.

Troopers say Sister Agnes Pennino was seen taking the items from the Surplus Outlet near Berwick on Monday afternoon.

WNEP-TV reports police determined the woman captured on surveillance video was the nun who lived about 20 miles away at a convent in Danville.

The station says Saints Cyril and Methodius Convent officials declined to comment. Nobody answered the phone at the convent Thursday morning.

Shoplifting is a summary offense, akin to a traffic ticket, meaning the nun will likely pay a fine if she’s convicted.

Store manager Zane Kishbach says he “couldn’t believe it that a nun would actually do something like that.”

I looked at the video and she was dressed in street clothes, so I doubt anyone would have assumed she's a nun. When people that old do stupid crap I'd prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt. I guess I'd like to know if she's ever had trouble like this before.

Maybe she is a criminal mastermind.

Maybe she finally hit the age where her agility failed her. Getting her finally caught.

Time to retire for the nun.

Or maybe they never have enough coffee at the convent and the food is shit.

  That vow of poverty must be a bitch to live with.  Maybe she needed some

since it's 20 miles away i assume it's a repeat crime. why else go so far from home?
on the other hand she could have been coming from/going on a road trip with limited means.
last, but not least, mental health issues.

it does remind me of the nuns in the movie "the sound of music."

Shoplifting hey. I guess the cannabis growing business isn't going so well for them (I mean, us )

  If business doesn't pick up, you'll have to go all  Thelma and Louise.

  Yeah, that would definitely improve the financial picture.  You watched that show, right?

[Charlotte Quin]

No, I hardly watch TV but I know its general premise and plotline.

She was also stealing soap.

We had a homeless guy who would wander through about every 3 months and steal some soap and get some coffee. The snacks and drinks where in plain view of the register...the coffee was free.

Everyone acted like we never saw it and just reimbursed the register after he left. If we could get away from the register, we would make him a sandwich and get him some snacks.

We had two that weren't homeless that never stole, but obviously just never bathed. Bad...seriously bad.
