A drunk person hammering an ATM at 3:30 in the morning is not news.

since she was working harder on the crack than her profession, she needed to bring pimp daddy some $$.

A drunk person hammering at an ATM at 3:30 in the morning ON JULY 26 is certainly not news when it is AUGUST 31!

She looks to be about 7 months pregnant… shouldn’t be hard to locate.

Where does a wired woman get a claw hammer at 3:30 in the morning?

It’s kind of sad but that is what happens when other countries take over all of our manufacturing and other jobs and then import more foreigners on visas. There is enough skilled labor here.
Some of you will probably say that that is supply and demand and a free market and that may be so, but it is still negatively effecting our country.
We need to not spend a dime overseas or bring our manufacturing and other jobs back.

The front of Publix, 1500 block of North Federal Hwy, 3:30 AM, twenty minutes. Were the police off that day?

I doubt she is a desperate Madoff victim. She just flat out needs some more crack. I agree with the guy who says she looks hot in a trashy kind of way….Emphasis on the trashy. In my simple mind I would think that these atm camera feeds could go somewhere like the police station or wherever all the cops were that night.

SMDH @some of the comments, especially Tom’s comment. Why make excuses for this woman? Oh wait, I already know the answer. If it had been any other person (you know what I mean), the comments would have been so negative!!!!

I wonder if she likes mayonaise or miracle whip. It really does make a difference. Mayonaise would make anyone do what they did.

Thank you Tom [post 10; 12:10 pm], that’s pretty deep. Profound.

When Nemo asks where are the cops, Check Denny’s or Dunkin’ Donuts. Any restraunt that starts with a D and you will find the cops. SSSSSLLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG coffee and flirting with the waitress.

eff the cops. they were to busy looking for the bad people who forgot to put on their seat belts. Keeping the peace

that is so true about the cops. try coming to roswell, ga. The cops are out every morning sitting at the stop lights during rush hour. they look into every car that has to stop at the traffic lights, and then pull them over for no seatbelt. Comeon, isnt there more serious crimes going on. I can see if u get pulled over for speeding and also dont have ur seatbelt on. I just love it when they defend themselves and say, “they are trying to save lives” by having these cops do this. BullSh**, its how they make money for the city. Please roswell policeman, go find the people who broke into my house, and quit harrassing the people who are just trying to get to work in the morning. funny how the cops harrass these workers in the morning, but dont go harrass the people who obviously dont have jobs and break into houses.
