bbc.co.ukHoly shit, he’s pretty good on that machine! Not Sure why they didn’t nick a ripper or trailer to take the cash machine away though, as clever as it looks, pushing it through the van roof is a little risky!

I'm wondering how they got it there in first place. They're not exactly stealthy.

They nick it from a nearby construction.

This^^ I heard a story years ago that a construction firm left a digger on top of a roundabout which had a height of around 6 foot and a wall around it. Digger was fully locked up but they still managed to break into the digger, get it started, drive it off a roundabout with a steep drop and rip the cash machine out of a wall that was 50 meters away.

I’ve been told that stuff like diggers don’t have unique keys, like a certain JCB model will all have the same key.

Other than keeping diggers locked away and putting GPS trackers on cash machines, how the fuck do you even stop that from happening.
They were in and out quick as fuck and fully masked. Police must have absolutely nothing on them.

Put an accelerometer in the machine that destroys the notes if the machine is moved. No reason for a full ATM to be moving at all, so if it does, something’s up.

That checks out, would be an absolute bastard to refill every single machine if there was an earthquake!

They don’t.
Or the other seven that’s been nicked this year.

You'd think GPS trackers would be worthwhile investments / insurance for these things; they're not that expensive.

only takes a faraday cage to stop signals in or out though surely?

This is so old school! There were a spate of these robberies where I lived back in the early '90s. It was in farming country so there were a lot of heavy plant vehicles about to nick, it seems...

I work for a supermarket and we moved our cash machine from the front of store to stop this exact thing happening. Pretty mad really.

Yeah one in my village has moved inside the co-op

Jesus half the building is missing!
