I conceive Wired ’s Joe Brown summed this story well onTwitter : “ utilise stolen backhoe to steal ATM , ditch backhoe , ATM falls off truck , too laborious to nibble up . Wish we had a backhoe . ”
To complicate , two thieves adjudicate to rip an ATM from its concrete foundation in downtown Phenix City Alabama using a backhoe ( also stolen ) . The plan was to place the pilfered ATM on a flatbed poke and haul it away . So far , so good . The only trouble is that the machine twig off the truck sometime later . Way to heavy to blame up manually , the stealer were wedge to leave behind the ATM on the side of the route .
Both the backhoe and the ATM were recovered , although the thief remain at big . Needless to say , if you materialise to live near Phenix city and you see a backhoe driving down the route with an ATM in the digging bucketful , fortune are it ’s these cat trying to redeem themselves . Probably not a good idea to risk it though — we have already see what can happen forjust get hold of a pic of an ATM . [ book of account - enquirerviaTwitter ]
