Idiot of the Week: Woman steals $4,000 Cognac bottle from Restaurant - Caught on Video

 This week's idiot is about a thief who stole a very expensive bottle of wine under video surveillance (VIDEO below in the blog). Fortunately, her family found out and returned it, embarrassed by their idiot relative. Bravo to the family for returning the bottle.

Woman banned from Bay Area steakhouse after stealing $4,000 Cognac bottle

> $4,000: The price of a nearly 100-year-old bottle of cognac a Bay Area woman swiped from a steakhouse. Her family eventually returned the bottle and is now banned from the establishment.

March 15, 1 p.m. The woman seen grabbing a $4,000 Cognac bottle from behind the bar at Mt. Hamilton GrandView has been banned from the restaurant after security footage of her alleged theft went viral.

NBC Bay Area reported Tuesday that the family returned the bottle and apologized. The owner is also declining to press charges, the station reported, but the woman and her family have been barred from the premises.

March 14, 2:25 p.m. A woman wearing an evening gown strolls around the bar counter at a swanky Bay Area steakhouse, in security footage from March 8.

With at least three other people watching the vicinity, she grabs a bottle from the bar at San Jose’s Mt. Hamilton GrandView — a $4,000 bottle of Louis XIII cognac — and walks away with a man, dressed up in in a white button-down shirt and slacks.

The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office is now investigating the case as a felony grand theft, according to a Saturday post on the office’s Facebook page. The office also posted security footage — as well as screenshots zeroing in on the alleged bottle thief. KTVU reported Saturday that the bottle of Louis XIII cognac is nearly a century old. VIDEO:
