ATM stolen

IF you can't steal from an ATM, what do you do? ‘steal the ATM'! If somebody can walk away with a part of a road, why can't thieves run away with an ATM. This is exactly what some thieves did in Karnataka yesterday. The automated teller machine (ATM) of HDFC Bank at Anekal weighing about 400 kgs was uprooted and loaded into a vehicle and carried away by the clever thieves.

And what was the watchman doing? He was sleeping in an adjacent bank!
