芝加哥警方警告说, 2025年8月, 南边公寓洗衣房的硬币机器被偷盗案增加, Chicago police warn of rising burglaries targeting coin machines in South Side apartment laundry rooms in August 2025, driven by loose change theft.

芝加哥警方警告居民, 南边公寓楼内, 盗贼闯进洗衣房和售卖区以窃取零钱, Chicago police are warning residents of a surge in burglaries targeting coin-operated machines in South Side apartment buildings, with thieves breaking into laundry rooms and vending areas to steal loose change. 2025年8月,在数条街道上报告了一些事件,涉及强行进入和机器损坏。 Incidents were reported across several streets in August 2025, involving forced entry and damage to machines. 当局认为,即使现金使用量下降,犯罪是由累积硬币的认知价值所驱动的。 Authorities believe the crimes are driven by the perceived value of accumulated coins, even as cash use declines. 越狱事件一再发生,表明有组织或机会性的活动,促使居民要求确保设施安全并报告可疑行为。 The repeated nature of the break-ins suggests organized or opportunistic activity, prompting calls for residents to secure facilities and report suspicious behavior.
