It's one thing to be robbed by stranger, but to have your possessions stolen by someone you know and trust: That's tragic and a total hot mess.

Kyle Avlia , a Marc by Marc accessories store manager, got busted for stealing $62,000 from the boutique. He got caught when he unapologetically told his fellow Marc co-worker Mike Okerson -- who had noticed the missing cash while doing a routine review of receipts -- the following: "I've been stealing the money from the money drops. I have been doing it for a while."

Can we say bold?

Apparently, the accused was even given a chance to repay the money without getting the cops involved, but when he failed to produced Okerson immediately called the Po Po.

So, the moral of the story: Don't mess with Marc Jacobs or his adorable jelly flats -- he's tougher than he looks and will totally throw you in jail.
