The Great Cash Machine Esacpe?

Post by Atheist-Lite » Sat Jan 14, 2012 7:40 am

Thieves in Manchester dug a 100ft underground tunnel over six months to get to a cash machine.

They used machinery to cut through more than 15in (38cm) of concrete to steal the money in Fallowfield Shopping Precinct, Levenshulme.

The tunnel started from a railway embankment at the rear of the shop, and went under a car park, and beneath the foundations of the store.

(continued)

Good'ol British ingenuity. What's a ex-miner meant to do for a living? Rob banks? :smoke:

Isn't that a lot of investment to rob a single cash machine?

You should always try and steal the ATM right before a three day weekend after the machine has been filled.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

That is actually quite impressive.

Hate to say it, but it is. Night between Sunday and Monday - would that not be rather suboptimal timing, though? Except of course that it likely was the most quiet night after it was filled up for the weekend...

I'll bet quite a bit that someone will try to make a movie about this, whether or not the Tunneling Burglars get caught.

Dug the tunnel on the weekend and then wait for them to fill it up again during the week?

I thought the point of crime was to avoid hard work? Daft cunts would probably have made as much working six months in McD's, those things only contain about 25 grand unless they are branch ATMs in city centres.

I had guys in the Navy who worked very hard at avoiding work. I particularly relished finding things for them to do. :twisted:
