A woman charged with robbing more than $11,000 from a Waukegan bank Monday was captured less than 40 minutes later after leaving, among other clues, her personal debit card on the teller's counter.
Kimberly Ramirez not only left her debit card, charging documents say, she wrote her demand note -- which read "give me what you got" -- on the back of a prescription made out in her name and left it at the Consumers Credit Union, 2750 Washington St., around 12:57 p.m.
When Waukegan police arrived at her apartment building at about 1:30 p.m., Ramirez was outside her unit and told police she'd locked herself out. Inside the apartment, police found almost $10,000 as well as a black hat, sunglasses and black purse identical to the ones worn by the bank robber, according to a criminal complaint.
Waukegan police also spotted a red vehicle that matched the description of Ramirez's getaway car and pulled it over. The driver told police he had picked up a woman at the credit union and had been paid $1,235 to drive her around, cash the police then recovered, according to the complaint.
Ramirez is not the first bank robber to leave her name behind. In Decemberf 2008, a man charged with robbing a Chicago bank wrote his demand note on the back of his own pay stub.
