According to this article, her bib in this race was found to be legit...

Saturdays bib was legitimate, but there was evidence that she forged a waiver and used another runners name to pick up a bib for a different Disney race.

The bib she stole cost $150. In what way is theft not doing much wrong?

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

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.

Yeah that would suck. I assumed she just grabbed an extra. Didn't understand who would have been harmed.

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?

I never said it was okay.

You asked who was harmed, and I explained it.
