The Shopping Spree

This item appeared in a small midwestern town's newspaper reporting on the daily police blotter:

A 20-year-old woman reported that she was kidnapped Wednesday afternoon by a man outside her workplace, driven to Towne East Mall, and forced to shop for the rest of the day...
1) Ohhhh nooooooooo...anywhere but the briar patch...
... a total of more than five hours.
2) She tried to stay until closing, but it was the guy's bowling night.
The woman testified that the man picked her up outside on the 1200 block of East Wafer St. about 2 P.M. He dropped her off at 7 P.M. about a block from her house...
3) Somehow this doesn't really sound like your ordinary run-of-the-mill every-day kidnapping.
... keeping her white-and-tan purse.
4) ...in which she conveniently left her phone number and itinerary for the next three weeks.
The woman says she knows her abductor.
5) ... and she's not telling who it is either. After all, he could be arres- ted, and she has an appointment to be kidnapped again Wednesday the 25th at 11:30. That way they can work in lunch too.
It was reported that no weapons were used.
6) ... by the man. The woman, however, pulled a 10-inch butcher knife and threatened to use it on her 'abductor' when he mistakenly tried to drop her off too early.
It is not know what items the woman bought or whether she would be allowed to keep any of them.

I wonder why she wouldn't be allowed to keep the items she bought?

Did she go over her credit limit? .Did a check or three bounce?

No matter... I'll bet she invented the whole story just so her husband wouldn't be p.o.ed when the bills came in later in the month.
