Stealing hair for money
Here’s an article entitled ‘Costly Hairstyle Is a Beauty Trend That Draws Thieves’ Notice’ about the crime of stealing human hair. I had no idea thieves stole hair on an epic scale until I read this article. The salon owner pictured below had $150,000 worth of hair stolen from her business during one such theft. Thankfully, the thieves are not taking the hair directly from its source.
