They possibly made off with $3,000.
The taxpayers will cough up three times that for his emergency room services+++
The owners will pay twice that for repairs/replacement.
Saw how it’s done in Barber Shop.
Don’t drop it on their head.
Yeah. Looks like the thing broke his knee.
The audacity is impressive. The execution, not so much.
Dude!! I love RJ Sandwich Fish n’ Chicken!
Impressive. I would have thought it would hold long enough to do some serious damage to the minivan, but I guess their understanding of Physics is better than mine.
In any case, a truck would have been able to pull it out if the van wasn’t sufficient.
As to defense, the key is getting it integrated into the slab, since, as the video shows, it could have been located 50 feet from the door, but nothing at grade level would have stopped it from coming out once the strap tightened up. But if you had it bolted to a 1/2” metal plate under 12” of concrete (1 square yard wide), and assuming that the ATM structure was strong enough, he would have left the back end of the van (or pretty much any truck) at he gas station during his (attempted) getaway. Now that would been a fun report to watch.
As to the guy’s knee, he’s really lucky he made it out of there...and he’ll find it will simply get worse and worse over the days.
Places I know of empty their ATM’s at night - leave the cash drawer open to show it.
It always costs more to fix things than what was taken.
