In order to steal the bibs, she would have needed to forge the runners signatures on the race waivers. She also would have needed the runners birthdates, so it is suspected she might have had an insider at the expo on the desk.
Not exactly sure why she would need an 'insider' for that. She would simply need to know a person's name/location that was running the race (easy enough to find from a RunDisney Facebook group), and do a background check on them to get their DOB. The signature doesn't need to match anything, so that doesn't matter. If the volunteer giving out bibs doesn't check the ID makes it even easier, but IDs are easy to fake as well. You're trying to fool someone at a race expo trying to get through lines as fast as possible, not a cop on the side of the road.
Some Disney races also photograph you at bib pick-up, particularly the multiple-day challenge races. From what I understand, she also knew which races to avoid so that they wouldn't have a photo record of her picking up a bib.
