If only she had read the book first.

A South Carolina woman is accused of stealing a Bible, as well as several pairs of socks and some cheese, from a Walmart on Saturday, according to a Spartanburg Public Safety Department report.

Frances Thomas, 33, was approached by loss prevention officers at the Spartanburg store after an employee noticed her stuffing the book -- which, as you know, includes specific instructions not to steal -- into her purse.

Walmart employees reported Thomas to local police. She was booked into the Spartanburg County Jail for shoplifting and released that evening.

All items were recovered.
