A duped influencer who was criticized for wasting important police time by filing an official report about her stolen $650 Prada sunglasses is still continuing an investigation into the theft.
Sarah Stevenson, also known online as Sarah's Day, had her designer accessory stolen from Cronulla Post Office earlier last month.
Stevenson was criticized online for complaining about her “first world problem” and implicating police who have more important crimes to investigate.
The mother-of-two, 30, has now posted CCTV footage of the alleged thief and given an update on the police investigation into her missing sunglasses.
Speaking to her followers while doing her makeup, Stevenson explained that the perpetrator had her back turned to the camera in the post office, so police couldn't initially see the woman grabbing the sunglasses.

“Her back was positioned so you can't see her pick them up, but when she leaves they're gone and you can see her putting something in her bag,” Stevenson explained.
She then shared a photo of the woman that Sutherland Shire Police Area Command posted on their Facebook page on November 9.
Police described the woman as 'female, 25-30 years old, fair complexion, slim build, blond hair' before asking their social media followers to contact them if they had any information about her.
“Police believe the person in the attached images may be able to assist with an investigation into a theft that occurred at approximately 11am on Tuesday, October 31, 2023 at Cronulla Post Office,” the post said.

Speaking to her followers while doing her makeup, Stevenson explained that the perpetrator had her back turned to the camera in the post office so police could not initially see the woman taking the sunglasses.
Stevenson said police “now have access to these various CCTV cameras” to see if they caught the woman taking the sunglasses out of her bag.
Despite the ongoing police investigation, it appears Stevenson has little hope of recovering her stolen property as she was recently forced to repurchase the expensive sunglasses.
“Unfortunately I had to buy them again, but luckily they were 30% off so I was able to justify it a little more,” she said as she sat in her car wearing the $650 glasses for a pilates class.

It comes after the online media personality was criticized for complaining about her “first world problem” and wasting important police time when she first reported the theft.
'Is she right in the head? As I understand it, but it indicates, “Kim, there are people dying,” someone said, referencing an iconic Kardashian meme.
Another said: 'Is she okay?! The police have real crimes to solve and this dumbass thinks it deserves their full attention! Take another rail and leave!'
Despite negative criticism online, Sarah was devastated to lose the accessory. In a lengthy TikTok video, she explained that she had put them down for a while to care for her. dissatisfied 20 month old son Malakai.
