"Need Cash? Some Thieves Are Taking The Whole ATM"

About the article:
With the economy in a slump people are in desperate need of money and will go to extreme lengths to find the money that they need, including stealing an ATM machine, no not just the money bin, the whole thing! It seems ridiculous to steal a whole machine, doesn't it? well No, according to detective Greenat, "if thieves take the whole machine there will be no fingerprints left just a bare spot that once was a source to get money." Makes sense, Yes, but why would you want that big machine just chillaxin in your living room? It's a sign of prestige says Greenat, in the "gangster" community stealing is the norm but the bigger the item and more worthy the better you are if you were able to successfully steal it. Also a valid point, but how would your conscience rate if you were convicted of stealing no not, a car, not a person, not a few groceries, but yes, an ATM machine. The logic behind the theft is completely stupid, seriously? dude come over, check out my ATM machine! NO! nobody would do that. I am not saying that stealing is right but seriously if you want the money that bad, take it. But don't take the whole d*** machine! People these days, get a life, go for a walk without coming back with things that you did not buy or you "found" they are someone Else's and you with your dirty little mitts need to leave it alone. Stop it. You are not cool. Not at all.
