Here ’s the affair about ATMs : The machine are designed to take a reasonably severe whacking and still leave the box of cash out of a would - be thief ’s reach . A Maryland gentleman recently learned this lesson the hard agency when he stole a backhoe , aim it five naut mi , and then attempted to unearth some cash out of an ATM . Itdidn’t work outso well .
Police in Prince George ’s County just released surveillance camera footage of the defendant pulling up to what seem to be a Bank of America in the steal shovel . He then stabilizes the backhoe and gets to sour on the ATM . ( Something tells me this guy ’s used one before . ) As you might expect from a art object of enceinte machinery , the backhoe beat the prick out of the ATM . The guy just could n’t get that money , though .
“ He used the bucketful to peel away the ATM ’s out wrapping … it was unsuccessful , ” Prince George ’s County Police Lt . Dave Colemantold the mechanical press . “ He was not able to get any money out of the ATM but he do about $ 10,000 worth of damage . ”
The defendant continue at large , which is basically incredible give the spirit level of stupidity expect to rip apart an ATM fence in by photographic camera with a stolen , bright yellow backhoe . Then again , he might just be dumb enough to seek it again .
