Britney Spears has been photographed stealing a blue lighter from a gas station in California.

Brit stopped at a convenience store to pick up some gum late Saturday night. She then picked up a blue lighter before leaving the shop and made her way to the exit without paying the $1.39 price for the item.

The pop tart then sarcastically admitted to nicking the lighter.

She said: “I stole something. Oh, I’m bad!”

The owner of the store, Jatinder Kaur, told People Magazine:

“Yes, Britney stole a blue lighter here last night. The lighter is $1.39. I’m hoping maybe the next time she comes back she will pay for it.”

“I know she can afford to pay for it, but I’m not planning to file a police report. It’s still not right for her to steal the lighter. I hope she will do the right thing the next time she comes here,” he added.
