A woman in Redding takes matters into her own hands after her wallet is stolen.

After confronting the alleged thief, she posted a video of the encounter on social media. It all started here at Chuck E. Cheeses.

Leasha Sanders was celebrating her niece’s third birthday when she noticed her wallet had gone missing. She says about 15 minutes later she saw a transaction coming from Kohl’s.

“Every time she made a transaction it would notify me,” Sanders said.

An app on her phone became a map to her wallet so her friend suggested they follow it. When they got to Kohl’s the suspect had already left.

Then another transaction appeared from Walmart and that’s where they found her and alerted a manager.

“Once I said that’s my wallet with my keys he went up to her and he was like ‘we can’t sell this to you, you’re not purchasing it with your own money and then she proceeded to tell him that she was getting her finances in order,” Sanders said.

Which brings us to the video. Sanders ultimately grabbed her wallet and keys from the woman without a struggle.

RPD got there to take a report once the suspect was already gone. She’s believed to have gotten away with hundreds of dollars in merchandise but Sanders got her wallet and keys back.

“I went home and honestly, went home and I laughed about it. I was like is this really just happen?” Sanders said.

While Sanders is laughing that she got her wallet back safely, she doesn’t suggest anyone put themselves in harm’s way for a material item.
