Rain, Rain Go Away… Oh wait, I live in London.

More (attempted) ATM thefts!

I think the local ATM thieves ought to take their show on the road because over in Malaysia, it looks like the wannabe thieves could use some help… There haven’t been any more reported ATM thefts in the Greater Pittsburgh Area recently, but the phenomenon is apparently not confined to the US. One attempt at stealing a cash machine in Malaysia had to be abandoned because the digger they were using got stuck in the bank from which they were trying to, umm, liberate the ATM. Yeah… two questions:

1) Do you just rent a massive digger and then drive it up to a bank, real nonchalently, hoping that no one notices?

2) How would said digger function as a getaway vehicle? I can’t imagine it hits very high speeds and it’s not the most inconspicuous form of transportation available.

Anyway, I think our local ATM boys need to get a flight over to Kuala Lampur and teach those Malaysian boys how to steal some ATMs.
