A 76-year-old woman who gave her address as 1600 Pennsylvania Ave -- the Washington, D.C., location of the White House -- has been arrested for the 73rd time in almost 40 years, this time on charges of stealing a police decoy wallet in a supermarket and stuffing it in her bra. The woman, who prosecutors say has used 36 aliases, was indicted Tuesday as Katherine Kelly in Manhattan Criminal Court in connection with the wallet. According to a criminal complaint, she took a wallet (left by police as bait), from a shopping cart in a supermarket a few blocks north of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, and an officer recovered the wallet from Kelly's "bra area." Undercover police also saw her trying to steal from several people inside the supermarket by putting her hand inside their bags. The woman has been arrested under 36 names, including Robin Shapiro, Antoinette Lombardi, Mildred Friedman, Sylvia McGuire, Victoria Velloti and Charlotte Petrovas.
