A group of women, disguised as angels of mercy in medical scrubs (with one sporting a rather ironic “I love Jesus” visor), allegedly pulled off a divine heist at a Stuart consignment shop. Their mission? To acquire the holy grail of retail therapy: a stranger’s credit cards.
The scene unfolded at Treasure Coast Family Vendors in Martin County, where the unsuspecting owner was lured to the back of the store by the siren song of a table inquiry. Meanwhile, one of the “angels” performed a miracle, making the owner’s wallet vanish from her purse faster than you can say “Ten Commandments.”

With their newfound financial freedom, the pair embarked on a spending spree that would make even the most seasoned shopaholic blush.
Gift cards, a bulk supply of toilet paper (apparently, cleanliness is next to godliness), alcohol, electronics, and even a hearty KFC feast were all on the menu.
Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying these “pious” pilferers, who were caught on camera.
If you can identify these women, please contact the Martin County Sheriff’s Office at 772-220-7000.
