This only proves, once again, why I distrust ATM's in particular. I sincerely hope banks in general will take this guys advice seriously... I miss the good ol' days when most ATM thefts involved a sledge or some form of mild explosive... That or a hit and run with a car. Now you can just pair the first method using proper timing and the guy is going to be able to leave with a stack of 100's without most people knowing before he has long since left - Just grand...
I'll be sticking to at least slightly more secured methods of obtaining my money, thanks.
