Seven articles of clothing were stolen Tuesday from the Rugged Bear clothing store, the manager reported to the police. A woman was seen browsing the small girl's clothes section. Afterward, there were seven empty hangers, and three shirts and four pairs of pants, worth a total of $105, were missing. Employees attempted to follow the woman, but lost sight of her in the parking lot. A woman matching the same description was seen in the store three weeks prior. In that situation, fourteen hangers were reported empty after the woman left, once again in the small girl's clothing section. That time, store employees did not notify the police.
