It seems like theft and shoplifting have no age limit. Our next story is 80-year-old Doris Payne. Payne has a decades-long criminal record for stealing jewelry. Last week she was convicted in a Los Angeles, California court and sentenced to 16 months in prison for swiping a $16,000 ring from a Santa Monica store.

Payne pleaded no contest to grand theft of personal property Friday. Her sentence will run concurrent with a 5-year term she's serving for stealing a diamond ring from a San Diego department store last year.

How Not to Steal Like an 80-year-old

Police say Payne placed the ring down the front of her shirt during a visit to the jewelry store in Santa Monica in October. The ring was reported stolen two days later after it wasn't found.

Payne has several prior convictions for theft and has been sent to prison twice.

In 2009, Payne pleaded no contest in Santa Clara County Superior Court in Palo Alto to felony grand theft in the 2005 heist of a $30,000 diamond from the Neiman Marcus at Stanford Shopping Center.

Payne's theft at the Stanford Shopping Center was caught on a security camera. Local police sent the images to Jewelers Security Alliance, which identified Payne as the thief and alerted jewelers nationwide.  Hours later, Payne was arrested at a Neiman Marcus in Las Vegas.

Payne would walk into a high-end department store, chat up the jewelry clerks while trying on items from different display cases, and then walk out with one of their priciest gems. According to a 2005 report, the West Virginia native hit stores in New York, Monte Carlo and Paris over a five-decade career, always dressing elegantly to avoid suspicion.
