Watched this type of thing happen in West Memphis Tennessee; a couple of guys with a 3/4 ton Chevy and tow chain pulled an ATM out of the front window of a convenience store and drove off with it down the road.

Does that fall under cash advance or partial withdrawal ???? Dirtbags again .. Maybe they can get Heavy Equipment training in prison ….they’d make more at a union job than that ATM was keeping from them

Geniuses, the stolen truck and backhoe might have been worth more than whatever cash they may have gotten out of the ATM, of course the cash is easier to spend I guess.
