the shopping haul that got her arrested

'knocking on wood cause you never know"😭😭😭

ngl i find it annoying that influencers follow the pattern of saying 'my actions dont reflect me as a person' etc. because YES THEY DO. of course you dont think that because nobody os the villain in their own story. your actions always have and always will say certain things about you😭 its such a bold and silly thing to say imo. really speaks to the type of people who become influencers

On a side note, you look absolutely gorgeous in this video. You are literally glowing!

Never steal from target, they can tell if your pregnant before you do, they WILL catch you

In some corners of the LEGO community, this activity has a name. It''s "Doing a Swanberg" named after a man, William Swanberg, who was arrested in 2005 after doing this exact thing. He was printing out barcodes for small LEGO sets ($20 ish) and pasting them onto expensive LEGO sets ($100 - $300) and selling them online. He was caught at a Target store, but he was doing this at Toys 'R Us, Wal-mart and other toy stores. The way I hear it is that Target introduced some measures to make sure that people couldn't get away with this for as long as he did (2002 - 2005)

So, don't do a Swanberg!

GIRL SHE STOLE FROM TARGET AGAIN

Wouldn't she be able to claim these items in her taxes and get a write off anyway? Also, does she not file taxes?!?!

being a haul influencer should be easy … just buy make ur video and return the item when ur done and get ur money back 😂

Sorry, you may think this isn't who you are but you are straight up are a thief, pics say it happened

“My actions don’t describe my character.” Girl what, that’s exactly what describes your character.

Target runs a very sophisticated forensics lab, so they sure take crime seriously.

Wonder if she'll find put if announcer dude is in fact hot.

I met a lady who worked Target in the 90s & got arrested for taking expired cheese from the trash as she was POOR & wanted to feed it to her kids. Fuck these companies

Why ppl care if others steal? These stores raise their prices no matter what- they blame price increases on theft as they have an excuse that makes them look like a victim

DO NOT shoplift from target are you guys stupid. Go somewhere else

So many good points. One thing I realized is that content creation & influencer career paths are becoming inextricably tied with one another. I’m trying to start an art channel/career and it’s been so weird to realize the best shot I have is marketing ME. It’s so weird! Kasey Golden is an artist I love following because she’s interesting and cool. I also love Edvasian because he doesn’t do anything weird to be an influencer.

happy swellmas amanda

I once bought a hello kitty bag that had 2 $60 electronics in the front pocket from Target.

The funny thing is the bow on the front of the bag was hanging off, which made me grow attached. Feeling the need to take it home and fix it. Now I think it was cut for a person to identify which bag had the "goods" in them. It was probably a group op from the start. But the way they taged the bag was perfect bate for a sap like me, who feels sad for these items and takes them home to fix and love.

I didn't notice the electronics until I got home and returned them the next day.
But that's how my poor little hello kitty bag was almost entangled into crimes. It now lives a crime free life with me, bow still detached. I never did get to fixing it but, damn, do I still love that bag.

petite theft - lol

Bottom line you always get caught

Petite theft? 💅

It’s not her first rodeo, this is her first attempt at playing innocent while being publicly apprehended in front of her kids

Where are you going on vacation on the ship 🛳️

Enjoy your trip girl!

"You know what would ruin the holidays? A lawsuit :D" 😂😂😂

I was a teen girl with mental illness once and i used to steal a LOT... that was over 10 years ago now but i would never steal nowadays... just not worth it 😅 big stores do NOT mess around

People are acting so unhinged nowadays, that for a second I assumed that this woman was bragging that she straight up steals stuff and this is her haul, like this is a trend she's trying to start. She's just a criminal girly UwU.

Honestly, I’m not even mad at her stealing from a massive corporation like Walmart. If she does it to small businesses, that’s a different story.

Get your bag queen.

Bro this is the target right by my
Fucking house

Swell: I dont thonk she'll do this again.

Swell: Literally the day I' filming this!

Me: There it is. NEVER HAVE FAITH IN HUMANITY!

Petit theft is pronounced as “petty” theft just as an fyi

She knows exactly what shes doing with that long ass caption. Even in an apology she is actively grifting

There is a deeply disturbed part of me that keeps me from giving a single fuck about people stealing from big corporations. I could see you stealing a whole pack of beers and a vodka bottle and I woud literally not bat an eye. I cannot bring myself so see anything morally wrong with it. BUT it is illegal, so don't go advertising it. Too many people are proud of stealing, but as we say in my country: if you eat in silence, you eat double.

…pretty please do a cruise review because I’m a weirdo and recognize the cruise line you’re on as one I’m considering?

I was getting several millions of views daily on TikTok in 2020. Made $30 total.

I understand she needs to buy all this stuff for her content, but I don't understand the stealing.

I grew up poor, I've shoplifted. But if I was getting stuff to make entertainment for others, I wouldn't steal. I could just return the items after making my video(s) and get my money back. Or, if I wanted to keep something, I could just write off the charges on my taxes as a job expense.

I really don't get it. Girl needed attention and drama and wanted to cut corners in the easiest way.

Okay, maybe I do get it.

I need a influencer counter 😂

She needs to quit that game and get some therapy.

A Virgin cruise?!? Girl, color me jealous. Truly my fave cruise line.

I work in customer service at a major retailer and have had a few run-ins with what it sounds like she allegedly did (once as a return, once when a customer was actively doing it, and once as a discarded attempt at doing it). It's the simplest and oldest trick in the book but it's also pretty obvious if you're paying attention to the prices on a self checkout machine

also, it's target, so who really cares? they're a very rich multi billion dollar company who are shamelessly profiting off of the cost of living, the pandemic, so honestly influencers like her are doing the Lord's work. remember, rich people don't get into heaven, it's easier for a camel to fit through an eye of a pin than it is for a rich person to get into heaven.

Swell tries crime so we don’t have to. It’s the series we need. 😊

It's a shame she can't use the Liftblr "we are just RPing" excuse 😂

I watched an old friend of mine steal from somewhere, or, actually, i thought i was seeing her look at something then put it back, and then, when i was buying my food, watched her get caught, BECAUSE SHE TOOK IT FROM A SHELF UNDER THE CAMERA. We were like 15 tho

Please come to dragoncon

Day 1 of tracking the ask

You really shoulda let that boat captains loudspeaker message play through🤩😭 i was invested immediately. I think cruising during vlogmas is truly inspired💚🌲
