Thief: (Noun) A person who steals another person's property, esp. by stealth and without using force or violence.

The media is trying to drag Winona Ryder's good name through the mud by once again accusing her of stealing; this time from a Hollywood CVS.

A store employee is quoted as saying: "Winona had a bag of stuff, but she set off the theft alarm when she left the store. "When a security guard stopped her, he found make-up she had not paid for."

And when she was asked about the make-up, Winona answered: "I don't know how that happened." The store employee added: "We took unpaid items back and she left the store." (Source)

OK fine. So maybe she took some shit. But still, I'd hardly call that stealing. As far as I'm concerned, appropriating make-up from chain drug stores is every red-blooded woman's right as an American. I know when I was 14, Lip Smackers didn't pay for themselves. So what, I guess I'm a "criminal" now too?
