The Place Where I Work Was Burglarized!

Anonymous032819 — Sun, 27 Jun 2021 03:05:08 GMT

This past Wednesday morning, at about 2:00 am, two males in a white SUV, smashed one of the large windows in our lobby, and stole an ATM! They also knocked over a vending machine.

All the authorities have are a few grainy pictures of the two perps, and what they were wearing.

Nobody has been apprehended as of yet.

This happened on my day off of work.

From what I have heard tell, ATMs are hard to break in to.

That's why they steal them because they are very hard to break into and they don't have time to do it on the spot.

I'm willing to be they never get it open .... or it has a lojack-type device hidden in it.

I can't even remember HOW MANY times I have opened the office, and found it had been burglarized.....both in Los Angeles, and Phoenix. YES we had alarms. They mostly took computers.

@Anonymous032819 I know what happened at your place of work isn´t funny but this reminded me of the movie ¨Barbershop¨ with Ice Cube when Anthony and his cousin stole the ATM machine. That ATM machine went all over town and finally they were disappointed to find out that there was no money loaded because it was a new machine.

Those machine are well protected and should have a tracking device.

People who do such a thing are dumb as dirt. No matter how much money the govt gives away...it's just incomprehensible just what the heck they do with that money that prompts them to criminal activity.

It surprises me that the pics are grainy. There should of been GREAT cameras where people could be identified.

@Sage04 That scene in the movie has me cracking up every single time I see it. Anthony Anderson and a knuckle head side kick in Mike Epps. LOL.

That wasn't Mike Epps, it was Lahmard Tate. But it was funny when they were trying move that ATM machine around Chicago.

At least the OP wasn't there when it happened and was not hurt in any way.

I work at a university. Crime is around, but it's mostly stealing stuff. A couple of years ago, some employees volunteered for the commencements. One time, they set aside a room for women to leave their bags, etc. Someone broke in and stole everyone's money. There must have been over 50 bags in that room.

We had a problem with this in my area last summer.

My street dead ends into a shopping center. A number of months ago, an SUV drove through the AT&T store and stole the ATM inside. It was the third time within a couple of weeks this had happened at various stores in my area.

My DH and I were just getting up for work and saw a car speeding up our street from the dead end and wondered what was going on. A few hours later the police were at our door wondering if our ring doorbell had picked up anything. Apparently there was a car parked at the dead end of our street and that was the get away car.
