The woman was finally caught in the act in the Carlos Haya Hospital in Málaga.
A 42 year old woman who dressed up in a white lab coat and put a stethoscope round her neck so she could steal from health centres has been arrested in Málaga.

Police finally caught the woman, named only with the initials, M.I.C.G. in the act at the Carlos Haya Hospital in the city where she was in the offices and taking personal items which belonged to health staff.

Diario Sur reports that she had carried out thefts in Ambulance stations, hospitals and health centres along the Costa del Sol, such as Las Lagunas in Mijas, in the search for wallets and other items. She now faces four charges of theft, two of them violent, and another count of attempted theft.

I have often thought of dressing this way to get respect in Post Office queues.
