DescriptionAssemblywoman Mary Hayashi was already on Neiman Marcus' radar when she was arrested outside its Union Square store last month for allegedly shoplifting $2,450 worth of merchandise, including a pair of leather pants.

According to sources close to the case, a week before the Neiman bust, a store saleswoman noticed that a dress was missing after a woman matching Hayashi's description tried it on.

The saleswoman did not know who Hayashi was, but when the Castro Valley Democrat showed up Oct. 25, the clerk alerted store security and they began tracking her with surveillance cameras.

The surveillance tape, now in prosecutors' hands, shows nothing conclusive. But at one point Hayashi took several items into a dressing room - out of the cameras' view - then left 18 minutes later carrying a shopping bag.
