I know what you guys were thinking dirty minds lol , but any who here is the article.
Millions of schoolgirls - and plenty of grown women - have tried out cosmetics on themselves in shops before deciding whether to buy.
So when grammar school girl Hannah Gilbert, 12, popped into Boots on only her second trip into town by herself, she thought nothing of painting a single thumb with nail polish to see how it looked.
But her shopping expedition turned into a nightmare when a security guard suddenly appeared and told her that if she failed to buy the product she would be guilty of theft.
Tearful Hannah, a member of a Christian youth fellowship group, did not have enough money to pay for the £6.29 peach-coloured Revlon polish - so was ordered into an office to wait for the police.An hour later, three officers arrived to interrogate her, even though a check on her lawabiding family's records revealed no evidence of any criminal history.
And it was only when the frightened girl's parents Barry, 57, an engineer, and Cheryl, a 46-year-old nurse, hurried to the shop to pay for the nail polish that she was finally freed. She was kept for an hour in a small office with the security guard and a manager and the police were called.
'At first there were three officers there. When we got there it was just one.
