2009-06_03_br.jpg 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]
