The craze for Stanley stainless steel drinking cups reached new levels last week when a woman was arrested and accused of stealing 65 of them, worth almost $2,500, from a store in California.

Police in Roseville, in Placer County, northeast of Sacramento, said Sunday that they were called Wednesday to a report of a theft from a store on Stanford Ranch Road in the city.

“Staff saw a woman take a shopping cart full of Stanley water bottles without paying for them. The suspect refused to stop for staff and stuffed her car with the stolen merchandise,” police said in a statement on Facebook.

    I had no idea and was very confused because the picture seemed completely unrelated, and I thought there was only one Stanley Cup…

      There are actually three Stanley Cups. One original, a newer one used for presentation, and one to sit on display while the presentation one is out and about (and as a reference in case something happens to the presentation cup).
