Man accused of stealing from Kmart days after buying $8 million private island

A Florida man was arrested on Saturday for shoplifting at a Kmart, just days after he purchased a multi-million-dollar private island off Key West.

Andrew Lippi, 59, was accused of stealing about $300 worth of household goods from a Kmart in Key West, where police said he purchased various items between March 30 and April 4, replaced them with cheaper items and returned them for a refund.

Lippi made headlines last week when he purchased Thompson Island, a private estate formerly owned by the philanthropist and developer Edward B. Knight, for $8 million, according to ABC Miami affiliate WPLG.

Sounds like the local pillager Ed wilgus. Christian on Sundays selling people 300% loans Monday thru Saturday. The man's literally making millions a month and they caught his wife stealing cosmetics at a local retail store. It's never enough money for people like this. Hell With us now turned his pawn shop in Delmar into a liquor store. That definitely has to go against anything the good book says, HYPOCRITE
