Maybe She Needed Money for Clothes?

In one of the more amusing crimes in recent memory, a naked woman attacked an ATM at Silver Cross Field, home of the minor league Joliet JackHammers.

Stadium surveillance cameras captured the woman's antics as she "stacked folding tables, chairs and traffic cones," banged a chair against a gate, and then found a pickax and slammed it repeatedly into a stadium cash machine. While unable to open the ATM, she did inflict $2000 worth of damage to the machine. No word on whether she enjoyed the Silver Cross Field's hot tub during her unauthorize visit.

Security cameras later caught the woman donning a t-shirt and socks a single sock before she exited via the souvenir shop, tripping the burgler alarm in the process. She is still at large.
