All that careful planning and preparation and they forgot one small detail. Learning how to use a torch to cut their way into the ATM. I learned how to do some basic welding many moons ago in High School. I was never very good at it, but I did know how to actually cut the metal. It isn\u2019t anything like the movies. It\u2019s actually a slow process.<\/p>\n<p>If these to failures had managed to cut their way in, there would have been a good change they would have incinerated the cash instead of scoring enough scratch for their next Crack and Meth binge. They also neglected to obscure the surveillance cameras, and while the images shown are pretty bad, I have little doubt that other cameras picked these two up from other angles<\/p>\n<p>Another little issue with their cunning plan was estimating just how tough those machines actually are. For all intents and purposes, they\u2019re small safes. I recall a group of morons who had a similar idea years ago near where I live. (It was a few towns over) They didn\u2019t bring a blowtorch with them, they brought a backhoe. They physically pulled the ATM out of the ground and dragged it down the road trying to break it open. They also failed miserably.<\/p>\n<p>So once again, Anger Central has nominees for the Stupidest Criminals of the Week. Of course, it\u2019s early yet and we might find other who are even dumber, like the moron who pulled a gun in a gun shop and announced a robbery. The investigators decided it was easier to ask who didn\u2019t fire than count those who did.<\/p>\n<p>Thatisall<\/p>\n<span id=\"post-ratings-28806\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"1f06e4001a\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28806_1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1 Star\" title=\"1 Star\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28806, 1, '1 Star');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(4.5, 5, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28806_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2 Stars\" title=\"2 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28806, 2, '2 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(4.5, 5, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28806_3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3 Stars\" title=\"3 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28806, 3, '3 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(4.5, 5, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28806_4\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Stars\" title=\"4 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28806, 4, '4 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(4.5, 5, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_28806_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_half.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5 Stars\" title=\"5 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(28806, 5, '5 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(4.5, 5, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/> (<strong>2<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>4.50<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"post-ratings-text\" id=\"ratings_28806_text\"><\/span><\/span><span id=\"post-ratings-28806-loading\" class=\"post-ratings-loading\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/loading.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"post-ratings-image\" \/>Loading...<\/span>\n<p><i><b>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"true\";\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"angersentral\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar_position = \"bottom\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"search\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_title = \"Shop Related Products\";\namzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = \"home security\";\namzn_assoc_default_category = \"All\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"55a5c1837a2fef90c64386bfca8ef04f\";\namzn_assoc_rows = \"2\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day all.
