Which, the last one? It's been done in .au several times; the one where I first heard about it they took a machine that'd just been loaded for a long weekend (about AUD$800,000). They hadn't planned properly for getting it open though; the dynamited remains were found a few weeks later, with all of the cash destroyed. I believe that in at least several other cases, the machine was successfully opened and looted; there's also a legendary story about a couple of thieves with one of the indoor-style machines being stopped and defected for "saggy suspension" in their ute. The officer didn't notice the ATM, or at least didn't recognise it. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
