John Patrick Weismiller is a serial shoplifter whose favorite target was Safeway grocery stores. The sticky-fingered Weismiller will have a hard time putting his sticky fingers to use at his next destination – behind bars.

According to USNews, The 41-year-old from Woodburn, Oregon is accused of having stolen from more than 100 stores in the pacific northwest. His crimes have caught up with and he was just sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison.

Weismiller shoplifted everything from Crest teeth-whitening strips to Oil of Olay creams at stores such as Safeway, Target and Best Buy – usually by stuffing the products under his clothing.

For Weismiller it was more than just theft. He actually sold the items on eBay at half price under the handle “myotherjob2001.”

Whoever says crime doesn’t pay? In just the first six months of 2011, he made more than $43,000 off of $73,000 worth of stolen products.

This was Wesimiller’s full-time job. He was making his living doing this. He lived in a nice house in the suburbs with his wife and kids.

After his prison sentence he must serve three years of supervised release and pay restitution of nearly $21,000.

Safeway’s loss-prevention team documented Weismiller stealing merchandise from its stores 105 times in early 2011, according to the FBI.

He is a professional shoplifter, also known as a “booster.” These guys, and girls, have little fear of going to jail because their crimes are nonviolent. They are usually slapped with a fine and released.

Hopefully, this jail sentence will send a message to other boosters that crime does not pay! In jail it would be nice to see the department of corrections mandate an Oregon theft and shoplifting class and counseling for this career criminal.
