There’s absolutely no problem with making money from selling underwear. Unless, of course, those frilly, fancy underthings never belonged to you in the first place, in which case you’ll be in a whole lot of hot water. Police in Florida say one woman managed to bilk Victoria’s Secret out of $53,000 by basically selling the store’s own lingerie back to itself.

According police in Miami-Dade County, a 29-year-old woman targeted a slew of stores in Florida, as foar north as Orlando but mostly in the Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, reports the Orlando Sun-Sentinel.

Her alleged scam? Shoplifting underthings and other items from stores, removing the security devices and then bringing the merchandise back to the cashier to exchange for something that costs a little bit more, police say.

She’d charge the difference between the two items to her debit card, and then take the new stuff to another Victoria’s Secret store and request a full refund. She’d then have that money credited to her debit card, and voila — free money in a scam dating back to 2013, according to law enforcement.

But only for so long — though she managed to rack up about $53,000 with the alleged scam, police arrested her last week, charging her with retail theft, grand theft, organized fraud and money laundering.
