Florida woman has a unique way of promoting breast cancer awareness

This is Classic Florida

A Florida probationer recently marked Breast Cancer Awareness Month by walking into Walmart and stealing an assortment of garments branded with pink ribbons and the Susan G. Komen logo, cops allege.

According to a criminal complaint, Laura Gillette swiped the clothing earlier this month from a store in Leesburg, a city about 45 miles northwest of Orlando.

Investigators allege that Gillette, 46, concealed the garments inside a shoebox before walking out of Walmart. But Gillette, seen below, was quickly apprehended by security guards who had been monitoring her activity via store surveillance cameras.

Gillette’s October 3 haul included “Fight of Cancer” yoga pants, a “Susan G. Komen pink yoga pant with the cancer ribbon,” a Komen hoodie with the words “Hope in Pink,” a Komen “Join the Fight” jacket, and a “black cancer ‘fight’ long sleeve shirt.” The garments had a combined retail value of about $80, cops reported.
