We can all rest easy now: the woman accused of swiping $20 from a pair of girls at a Deerfield Baskin-Robbins has come forward (after she was turned in by her husband) and has promised to repay the girls in order to avoid any theft charges. The woman claimed she didn't take the money on purpose but rather walked away with the $20 bill "without thinking about it," according to Deerfield Police Cmdr. Walt Trillhaase. Authorities, however, have still not apprehended this man who stands accused of swiping my ice cream sandwich from the Chicagoist break room freezer. [WBBM] more ›

It seems there's a happy ending for the girls who had $20 allegedly swiped from them by the Baskin-Robbins Bandit. Yesterday afternoon, a spokesperson for Baskin_Robbins said the girls would receive an ice cream party and a gift certificate of a yet-to-be-determined amount. Police are still asking for the Baskin-Robbins Bandit to come forward as she's reported to be a regular customer and they want to clear up any misunderstandings if it was an accident. Wait! This happened to us, too! Several Chicagoist staffers were at a Baskin-Robbins yesterday when this man took our money when we weren't looking. This is what he looks like. Where's our ice cream cake? more ›
