A thief in Oregon gets points for creativity. According to local press reports, a man in Milwaukie, Ore., covered an ATM with a cardboard box and wheeled it casually out of a hospital on a hand truck with a reported $17,000 inside.

The theft, which took place on Aug. 17 at the Providence Milwaukie Hospital, has garnered grudging praise from both media and law enforcement.
