Britney’s Five Finger Discount: Running red lights, no car seats, and now… theft? It appears Britney forgot to pay for a lighter at a gas station on Friday in Sherman Oaks, according to a report in People. Gas station owner Jatinder Kaur told the magazine, “Yes, Britney stole a blue lighter here last night. The lighter is $1.39. I’m hoping maybe the next time she comes back she will pay for it. I know she can afford to pay for it, but I’m not planning to file a police report. It’s still not right for her to steal the lighter. I hope she will do the right thing the next time she comes here.” Luckily, one of the many photographers who stalk the pop singer paid for the item. Britney’s reported response when told she hadn’t paid for the item, “I stole something. Oh, I’m bad!”
