Rash of ATM thefts prompt police to warn businesses to up security

The video kills me!!

edit:

Thanks GotRice? !


I'm not sure why you wouldn't bolt them down in the first place...

I used to be a ATM technician and they would have sensors installed to let you know about any hard bumps to alert the monitoring station. Also if they were in a permanent location they got bolted down.

But even machines that were bolted down walked away somehow.

No GPS installed inside?

With the company I worked for they never put GPS inside because like I said they were bolted down and if they dissapeared insurnace covered it. But we also only lost 1 in the time I worked there.

Temporary rental machines for events and venus did have GPS tracking though.

How much money can possibly be in these machines? I expect they're 1 up from a convienence store robbery.

at least a few G's? Think about the ones at stampede. Everyone in that line is pulling out 1-200 dollars.

I could see as much as 15 grand in them.

I think that some of them hold more, especially in a casino situation. In my opinion they would hold at LEAST $35-40k, if not more. The ones in/around the high roller rooms would probably hold even more, I'm pretty sure they have some that only dispense $100 bills, nothing smaller. If you have ever sat and watched an atm in a casino it's almost always busy.....

Smaller ATM machines like these can hold upwards of 5k. It depends on the dispenser installed into the machine. Smaller dispensers usually around 2-2500k and the larger 4-5k.
