Vietnamese Shoplifters Wrap Items in Foil 

HONG KONG - Six Vietnamese shoplifters beat security systems in stores by wrapping items in foil to evade electronic sensors, but they were caught the old-fashioned way by police who followed them. 
The four men and two women were sentenced Monday to prison terms ranging from 18 to 23 months for conspiracy to steal and overstaying their visas, defense lawyers said Tuesday. 
A court was told the Vietnamese successfully stole 81 items of clothing worth $3,500 from several stores, but were nabbed later by police who had picked up their trail.
