You would think that the Dancer probably knew about the camera. If so, how FUCKING stupid can she be!
I don't know. She might have felt like she hit the jackpot.
Reports are, her IQ was near Mensa level. Of course that is on the stripper scale. Dumb Ass on the normal scale.
Present TUSCL dancers excluded, of course :)
Regardless of what her "supposed" IQ is, stealing from a Customer when you know about Cameras observing you is FUCKING stupid. LOL
Tongue in cheek, my friend. :)
