A $250 sweater was swiped from a boutique in the Hudson Valley area of upstate New York.
The owner of the DIG boutique posted a surveillance photo on the store's Facebook page.
A local paper reports four hours later the sweater swiper returned it.
Authorities say friends of suspect Heather Wilber told her to give it back.
Others called or texted police with the woman's identity.
Wilber is now charged with misdemeanor petty larceny.
