A woman in a floral dress walked into a Radio Shack in Weston, Florida, slipped several computer parts under her dress and walked out.
The Feb. 26 theft was caught on surveillance video.
It took a store employee several hours to notice that a large section of shelving was empty.
Broward Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Dani Moschella said a man acted as a lookout while the woman placed at least seven computer components under her dress. It appeared that there was a bag hidden under the fabric of her dress.
"Clearly she's done this before," added Moschella. "She puts them in there quickly and she's gone."
According to Radio Shack employees the female suspect was wondering around the store until she reached one particular aisle and found the more valuable items on the shelf.
"The man hands the woman a pretty sizable box containing a computer component," Moschella said.
On the surveillance video, the woman is seen placing at least seven boxes inside her dress, with her male accomplice by her side.

"Detectives believe she must of had a bag or something set up," Moschella said.
At one moment in the video, the woman is seen adjusting her dress to make room for the loot.
Authorities say they were in and out in minutes.
"The images are super clear. Anyone who knows this couple can see this video and you're gonna know who they are," Moschella said.
The thieves got away with $1,140 worth of merchandise.
