Warsaw Police seeking public assistance

Do you recognize the woman in this image? She was driving the tan GMC also pictured. A young lady patronizing our local Wal-Mart left her wallet in the ladies room and the woman pictured here walked into the restroom moments later and the wallet vanished. As far as we can tell she was the only person to enter the bathroom during the time that the wallet was unaccounted for. 

"Finders Keepers" doesn't work when things like State ID and Debit/Credit cards are in play.
