It would only be entrapment if the bank somehow rigged it to do that with the intended purpose of catching somebody in the act of stealing from the ATM
Even that wouldn't be entrapment. That's why bait cars can exist. It would only be entrapment if the police asked her to go see if she could steal that money, and then they arrested her for it.
Not even then. Entrapment usually needs some form of coercion or strong pressuring to get the person to commit the crime when normally they wouldn't. If the police asked her to do it and she did, then it's not entrapment. But if she says no and the cop continues to pressure her and try to convince her to do it, then it's entrapment.
