The search is on for a woman who allegedly stole $20 from a girl at a Deerfield Baskin-Robbins recently. Deerfield Deputy Chief Tom Keane released surveillance footage of the incident and has asked the woman involved to come forward to clear up any misunderstanding. "We're just very curious to see if there's another side of the story...Was this just a mistake, or was this with intent?" Employees at the store say the woman is a regular customer and had children with her, so it could have been a mistake as she took her own ice cream. CBS 2 has the video. [Sun-Times] more ›

In the interest of responsible journalism (and getting our readers as much cheap/free ice cream as possible) it is our responsibility to inform you that Ben and Jerry’s free cone day was not the only discount ice cream opportunity available. Baskin Robbins is having its third annual 31 cent scoop night on Wednesday, April 29th. From 5-10 PM, stop in at any store for 31 cent scoops. There is a 3-scoop limit.

We don’t really get how the ice cream promotion has anything to do with the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, though there will be the opportunity for patrons to donate to local fire charities at “some locations.” more ›
