Norma Buchwach of Pittsburgh allegedly picked up a wallet that was accidentally left on the seat of a slot machine at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh operated by Rush Street Gaming, the outlet reports citing court documents.

 She was spotted on surveillance camera going through the wallet, allegedly taking $1,000 in cash and a voucher worth $305, according to the complaint. 

She supposedly abandoned the empty wallet in a bus lobby bathroom and exited the casino, but another customer turned found it, and gave it to security, according to the outlet. 

She's been charged with theft of mislaid property, her court docket shows.  State police filed the summons, the outlet says.
