You had to stuff it in."\nAfter paying for her food, the woman put the jar into her purse, according to a security tape.\nThe Delaware County Sheriff's Department is investigating the incident.\nShe is described as a 5-foot-6 blonde and may have been driving a blue Pontiac Bonneville.\nDespite the theft, Sutton said the restaurant won't put away the jars.\n"Who would steal from these people?" he said. "It's kind of heinous"
