Fraud Bust?

RantWoman usually prefers to devote Sunday time to thoughts of faith and prayerful concern for all of humanity. Alas, RantWoman is a news junkie and sometimes a news item will require particular prayer. Consider this item about a 400-lb woman arrested for fraud, including among other things stashing $26,000 in her bra (headline reproduced verbatim):

Suspect in WA Fraud bust had $26K in bra

RantWoman is not sure who needs more prayer:

1. The headline writer who missed the lexicographic humor in a headline using the term "fraud bust" and bra in the same headline. RantWoman is aware that the US fascination with breast size leads women to put a lot of different enhancements into bras. RantWoman is pretty sure that this suspect at least had no need of artificial augmentation. In fact, RantWoman MIGHT urge investigators to check whether they missed anything.

2. The idea of a 6' tall, 400-lb woman doing anything that requires going incognito, hoping not to be remembered or recognized.
