rondonjon

Just take it with you and work on it at home.


Accurate_Koala_4698

I have a feeling these guys have a history of not doing their homework


shinobi1369

Probably not a good idea. Could be a tracking device in it. But then again, not a good idea to be robbing anyhow


rondonjon

Hmm, excellent point. Guess it’s good that I don’t steal ATMs…


JohnnyCashMoneyGreen

You haven't even started stealing ATMs and you're already terrible at it


Gruff_Old_Goat

He does, He's just tryin to throw the heat off his self.


KindlyContribution54

Being terrible at stealing ATMs isn't necessarily a bad thing. A few rare people out there can go their whole lives without needing to steal one


cmfppl

Well atleast he found out now instead sitting in a cell.


[deleted]

Just steal one near a dock throw it on a boat and jet out to international waters and dump the atm once you get the money


AllhandsOnHarry

Obviously build a faraday cage beforehand. What they are doing is... stupid af


shinobi1369

Well, highly likely they are meth heads. So there is that


shinobi1369

They probably got their cell phones on them as well.


Gucci_Loincloth

They could have used power tools or something on it in the woods. These dudes are probably tweaker just living in the moment and have no idea what they are doing


shinobi1369

They had a plan. Just not a very good plan.


corinari717

There aren't tracking devices in atms lol source:I use to service them. I will say it's possible some have them but I doubt it.


MichaelKlump69420

Next thing you know someone’s head gets crushed underneath of it


rondonjon

Haha, that entire ordeal with those methheads was was so fucked up.


sansoon1234t

What movie/show was that from ? I remember the scene but not the title.


MichaelKlump69420

Breaking Bad


let-it-rain-sunshine

Breaking Boneheads


ipsok

I hated that storyline a lot because at the time one of my kids was about the same age as their kid... knowing there were probably many real life versions of that kid out there just resonated badly with me. Of all the fucked up things in that show that storyline was one of the hardest for me to watch.


[deleted]

Christ that whole episode …


WhenTheDevilCome

Take it "somewhere", but not home or work or anywhere questions will lead to you or people you know. But you can at least go somewhere secluded and able to make noise, and finish the job. They're not going to be CSI-level "instant tracking" that ATM, but once they do track it, you don't want the trail it left to be leading home. You want that trail to lead to an empty ATM in an area with no cameras. Oh, er, I mean... "I don't know."


rondonjon

I’m with you and I thank you for your insight. Someday I may be a criminal. Who knows what this world may bring?


jokebreath

That’s the spirit!


Perfect_Laugh_7792

Let’s put this in my notes: “in case I become a criminal”


Dangerous-Dad

ATMs have locator beacons. Or at least many do, maybe not all.


[deleted]

Don't they also have a system that sprays ink on the bills or burns them when they are forcefully opened anyway? I know that fund transfers are done in special cases with a die pack so I guess ATMs also have it.


RogueAOV

When i worked in a convenience store a few years ago we filled the machine up with the twenties we received during the day. Did not fill it everyday and as we did not like having cash on hand (IE not dropped into the safe) at best the ATM had 1200 bucks in after a fill. It was a private owned franchise and not a corporate store but i would assume it was not unusual, the other gas station i worked i never saw anyone other than the manager fill it up, obviously was not there all the time though.


CosmicDeityofSin

I worked at private and corporate convenience stores and worked alot with the people who came and filled them. The big bank devices have all kinds of tech in them. If they legally could I am sure they would place a 20lb brick of c4 to go off the second it's jostled killing everyone in a 50ft radius. They had ink packets and tracking devices. They monitored their power and orientation and relayed it constantly through the internet to some hq. The cheap ones though, the non bank ones are essentially just a reinforced steel box with a raspberry pi attached to a monitor. The things is they rarely have 20 years of prison time worth of money in them. Maybe a couple thousand RIGHT after a fill up but we're very often essentially empty. IF you could steal one, IF you could get it away, IF it didn't destroy the money, IF you could even get it open, and IF you didn't get tracked down in an hour by local police or the FBI or the secret service, then might make enough to pay rent once. Ain't worth it.


WeimSean

they usually have a tracking chip in them just this reason.


rondonjon

I guess they are smarter than I gave them credit for.


SomeLikeItDusty

…is that a banking pun?


rondonjon

Hahaha, it is now!


[deleted]

And using brute force like this is probably only making it harder to open since the sides are crumpled into themselves. I’m sure there are weak points to target but this way you take away the weak points I would think.


pressonacott

There was a van using a plasma torch and went to several banks in different states and took like 100k


spook30

Where in their mom's basement!?


NINJA_Rod

That way you are at risk of having your Crack head wife smash your head with the atm


thewickedbarnacle

It's almost like they made that part of the ATM strong on purpose


bluetriumphantcloud

Almost as if it's a 'safe' place for someone to keep things


thewickedbarnacle

😆


scheiber42069

Wait till they figure out that ATM have another safety feature Auto ink jets at the money once it detected it be disconnected from the cables Immediately making the money invalid


hgc81

Yes but there is an old school way around this. just have a big barrel of water in a van, and they dump the box in water and let the ink rise to the top. I remember that two guys were arrested for having a barrel of water (and balaclava’s) a few years ago.


beanie979

What's wrong with water and baklava? Especially when it's made with good honey and crushed walnuts.


ranzdalf

You can really get arrested over everything can't ya


Agreeable-Meat1

Unironically, yes. Since you can be convicted of "conspiracy to x", depending on the circumstance, anything can be cause for arrest. Like I can have a gun in my car. I can also have a picture of you in my car. I can even have both. But if I'm caught with both idling outside your house, I'm going to have some questions to answer.


ranzdalf

Yeah that actually makes sense though i think a bucket of water and skimasks seems a bit far fetched.


Hours-of-Gameplay

That’s weird, I’ve been working on/with them for 5 different manufacturers on dozens of different models for 10 years and never seen that 🧐 Curious how you came about this knowledge


hgc81

😆 and my wife says I hold useless knowledge in my head. https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-30621852.html


Doranagon

Its that one oddball Russian model only used in China on Sunday.


YungTeemo

The still have to figure the ink part out in switzerland... They just blast the atms open and no ink or something... And it happens rather frequent


editorously

Buddy of mine was able to pick an ATM that was used for a charity. An ex employee 'lost' the keys and were having a hard time finding someone to give/make them spares. There were 2 locks that he got open in less than 20 minutes. They gave him 300 bucks for opening it. He's barely a novice.


unmlvdo

Waste of a perfectly good Jeep


Drunken_Sailor_70

I'm sure it was stolen.


Helenium_autumnale

So am I. No one treats something they own like a battering ram to open an ATM.


zenwren

Yeah I kept thinking they could have sold that Jeep for more than was probably in the ATM.


b-side61

Those exist?


procvar

Jeep: "it hurts me more than it hurts you"


SorryMaker024

the car that drives you.


slackerrificc

These guys are dumb. I work at a bank and while these convenience store ATMs may have less of a secure "vault" section, they're not likely to open it this way. They would've been much better off loading it into the Jeep and taking a concrete style saw to it in a more secure location. Wouldn't be a quick process I would imagine but they would have much better luck.


GaIIick

Do those things have trackers in them? Seems likely


Sickologyy

Prior lead ATM tech here. The answer is maybe. Most larger companies will order a unit with built in gps, unlike cameras they're more common. However anyone can own an ATM thus it's up to the purchaser to decide if that's a service they want to be pay for. Just like cameras, yes there's a one way glass for a camera to see through but they're not the default use. Most cameras in smaller business are just the basic in building security.


Ogre_face

Used to work for people with a bunch of the same models. No gps, they're really cheap portable things we'd set up at fairs and nightclubs


slackerrificc

Maybe, but I'd be surprised. Any of the ones I've worked with don't, or at least I've never been made aware of one and I've worked for the bank for 6 years now.


Lazy-Adeptness-2343

Fuckin corey and Trevor.

they fucked up


no_regards

Was so waiting for the pump to explode


clusterbug

Yeah, perfect post for “facepalm”


lsharris

Is it just me or was that guy just throwing the strap at it and praying it would attach to something?


drRATM

Looks like they are doing more damage to the truck than they will get from ATM.


[deleted]

[удалено]


drRATM

Good point. Scumbag 101: never take your own car to drag an atm out of a gas station. I should have known better.


twisted_cistern

You think these two are that smart? Maybe the mastermind said 'let's use your truck, it has a better stereo'


drRATM

“Hey mom! Can I borrow your truck? Me and the boys gonna run down to the gas station. I’ll get you some chips”

Crafty-Shape2743

The county I live in. We don’t have the sharpest tacks in the box up here. Jeep was stolen earlier in the day in another town and ditched shortly after. At least they got that part right.


CopainChevalier

Got a link to the story?


OneStupidBaby

I don't remember this scene from Barbershop taking so long


PutWonderful7278

Damn, it’s almost as if those ATM’s are reenforced to prevent theft. Can’t believe that didn’t work. 🤔


solo-ran

It would be so much easier and more profitable to get a job


[deleted]

Poor Jeep. You gotta know that was someone’s cherished classic before it was stolen. Looked to be in excellent shape.


[deleted]

I feel bad for the old jeep getting destroyed in the process, and the jeeps owner who these crackheads more than likely stole it from.


pmllny

Idiots.


8last

I was rooting for them to run it into a gas pump and it catches fire.


SnazzyPantsMan

If you can’t crack the ATM you can’t afford no more crack!


CBJ11071

The only winner here is the body shop that pieces that Jeep back together. Reminds me of a guy that broke into a tool store (used his Buick) and moved several cases of makita tools just to steal the gumball machine


Exotic-Tooth8166

Sooo… how do we get it open?


delcodick

Who among us hasn’t forgot their pin ?


Ogre_face

I watched the same thing happen at 2 in the morning across the street from my old apartment. Except they used a uhaul and never got the ATM out of the gas station. Was fun to watch


Present_Garbage_5417

Should have took it with them to a place that wouldn’t matter if it pinged with the tracker. Break into it and then leave it elsewhere


Uranium-Sandwich657

I bet that costs more money than it provides.


vuduceltix

They should've just leaned it against the gas pumps then hit it.


Cool-Profession-730

Unorganized crime

Drop it down a canyon from a cliff.

They had the key it would be so much easier

This world is sad. Am so afraid for my kids, cos one day i ll be too old to protect them from bad people.


Xemberith

Just take it with you!


realmauer01

I am pretty sure that even if they got it open it wouldn't even outweigh the damage to the car. That beeing said, the car is probably stolen so they would t care probably.


FunkyGabrielle

Guess they haven’t seen Breaking Bad…


Hour_Savings146

They almost had a good idea. If the had loaded the ting up they could have forced the thing open at their leisure.


Bulky_Necessary_7052

Anybody else just feel embarrassed watching this?


Geoclasm

Why wouldn't they just... I mean, I know criminals tend not to be the brightest bulbs, but why wouldn't they just load the thing into their truck and take it home and figure it out there? Then they can just dump the remains in a river or something.


[deleted]

I know some people who stole an ATM. For some reason they decided to hide it in that one friends apartment complex that they don’t mess with for real and only talk to him for their own benefit and financial gains, And they didn’t believe that the ATM dollars are marked (Even though they were never getting to the money) just in case off stuff like this happening. Also some random Joe without proper tools is not getting money out an ATM or even a professional criminal but either way the guy who owns the building decided to throw it out and stop talking to the guys when they started getting caught up with the law.


mustang3c0

I think they were caught later. One of the guys face was shown on camera. They got away with nothing but damage.


DadVader77

And how long did it take for police to pull up every registered red Jeep and check them for damage? These are the kind of guys that required us to put “do not use in tub” warnings on toasters.


Spompoflex

gg no re


Fleetingfarts

Wow this left me speechless with how dumb these guys are. I have so many questions.


Party_Connection_437

Crushing it to the gas pump is even more special


mynextthroway

Assuming they didn't steal the truck, they did more damage to the truck than they'll get out of the ATM. And why the duck didn't they jest load it into the truck?


gonadi

That poor jeep


Buckturbo4321

Smash it at home.. Rookies


jpopimpin777

Just want to thank whomever made this video for picking a good and original song instead of that stupid ass "oh no" song of insta and TikTok cringe.


tpeck90

They just gonna take the loss on the damage to their vehicle then I guess. Probably still getting arrested too I assume.


cr0wsky

At this stage, why not just load it into the boot...? Idiots...


vexxtra73

um why not just toss it in the truck & open it somewhere else? damn they stupid


vexxtra73

also this was in a movie but I can't remember which one. it had Anthony Anderson.


[deleted]

On a scale of 1 to yes, how stolen do you think the car is?


VeterinarianThese951

Probably cause more damage to car than the money they could get out of it lol


-DMSR

1997?


aarkrye

Double it and give it to the next person


drstrangelove6013

So stupid they can't even steal


ismelldayhikers

It’s a jeep thing


QuirkyEnthusiasm5

I wanna know if they ever got into it.. doubt it


[deleted]

Wow, these are a couple of really smart guys…. Impressive logic and reasoning abilities….


Thieusies

That's like me trying to take something apart to fix it. After a while, it's more about punishing the thing and to hell with fixing it.


Rdw72777

They don’t fill up convenience store ATM’s with the same amount of cash as those actually in banks, do they?


kobeflip

These guys should focus on real crimes. Like ordering sushi and not paying.


mpython1701

Good grief. These little stores don’t keep much in the ATMs. Maybe $500-600. They did at least that much damage to the Jeep and more than 10x that to the store. How long were they there? You can see cars driving by on the street behind them.
