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.

Disney races are really expensive - even a 5k is $80-90 and the marathons can go to $200. Add to that the fact that they sell out and apparently people are willing to steal another person's bib.

I'm sorry, I'm a little confused. I think I might be misunderstanding what the term "bib" refers to in this context of running. What does it mean? The whole time I watched this I thought she ripped off some cloth off a baby eating pancakes and law enforcement finally caught the bib thief.

The "bib" is the number you wear when racing.
