Woman stole from stores, sold on eBay, police say
"Misty Hosier's eBay store Web site reads: 'From computer and photography equipment to vintage hand crochet table liners! You name it! It's probably here, or could be. Just Ask!'
From gourmet dipping dish sets to anti-aging creams and expensive iPod stations and printers, Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Brevard County Sheriff's Office this week seized $30,000 worth of stolen goods they say the 30-year-old Hosier was in the process of auctioning online on eBay.
Police said the investigation began after the Broward County woman visited the Target Supercenter in Viera in late February and stole items valued at $2,500, mostly from the store's electronics department. Officials said the scheme appeared to be a one-woman operation which spanned four counties -- Brevard, Orange, Broward and Miami-Dade -- and also included other retailers such as Wal-Mart, Walgreens and Ross."
