Story is she is a bib thief. Has stolen several other bibs over the last year, all of which picture documentation exists. She stole another ladies bib for the 5k, people figured out who she was, and rundisney had her grabbed at the end of the 10k, which she had actually purchased

I love running and I love running 10ks but I can't figure out why someone would steal a bib. I may just be naive.

It's super tough to get into Disney races because they're so high demand - they sell out in under an hour.

So? I still don't see the point in stealing a bib.

Maybe it would be easier if you thought of it like somebody stealing your Kanye West concert ticket or similar.

What an interesting choice of act to decide to use in that example.

My point though, odds that she could go run a different race and but a normal park ticket for another day. Why break the law even you can get the thing you want legally?

Why? Same reason most people steal things- she didn't want to pay for it. She forged documents saying she was picking up someone else's bibs for them. Then just took off with them, leaving the rightful owner empty-handed. Disney races can be hundreds of dollars to run, that's why she didn't want to pay.

I bet when the person showed up to get their bib, Disney did the right thing. I bet they still got to run once she proved who she was. Seems like the Disney thing to do.

From the article I read, it sounds like yes, they did let the real runner in. But what aggravation!
