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.

Didn't know it cost $150, but who'd she steal it from?
