FACTS

Pham bought a Yorkshire Terrier from The Puppy Store (the Store) in the Mainplace Mall (the Mall). The owners Boris Jang and Jisun Lee obtained her contact information. About one week later, Pham, her sister, Yen Chu, Pham‟s daughters, and a couple friends went to the Mall. Pham and Chu went to Nordstrom and the girls went to the Store. One of the girls called Chu because the Store does not permit unaccompanied minors to play with the dogs. Chu arrived at the Store first and then Pham, who was carrying her purse and a Nordstrom bag. After Pham left, Lee noticed four items of puppy clothing, worth a total value of $109, were missing. Jang and Lee watched the surveillance video. The video showed Pham place the items in the Nordstrom bag and leave the Store without paying for the items. Jang called Pham‟s cellular telephone. Jang told Pham the video showed her stealing and he asked her to return the items. Pham denied pinching puppy apparel. Jung told Pham that if she did not return the garb, he would call the police. Pham said, “„Okay‟” and hung up. About 10 minutes later, Pham returned to the Store without the items or the Nordstrom bag. Pham again denied she took anything.…
