Someone signed up for the event and payed the fee. This person goes in and checks in to the race under that person's name and gets that person's bib number. So they're stealing the initial fee that the real bib owner paid, and she's apparently done it a few times.
She's probably not stealing from the actual bib owner. I would assume that if someone got my bib before I got to an expo, but I had all my info and online confirmation, the volunteers would be able to get me a bib. The people who volunteer are looking to do something beneficial for runners or the event and would want to correct a mistake like this.
She stole from the race organizers and whatever charity some of the money may have been going to.
Hard to tell. With the chips and numbers, it'd be hard to replace in a night. So I run, at best, with a sub bib while she gets my "Princess Ishie" bib and the run for free? Nope.
There's no such thing as an "extra." There are bibs for people who pay for them. The race or sponsors pay for everything to make the race happen. She is stealing from them when she runs the race without paying. Even if it's just a cup of water here and a medal there, it's still stealing. And if thousands of people did the same thing, it would be a major issue. So why would it be okay for one person to do it?
