Man tumbles down 50-foot embankment with stolen ATM

"It is stunning that [the thief] is still alive," says a police chief. "We are talking about a 50-feet embankment — basically straight down. He has the ATM, which basically weighs 3,000 pounds." (Kansas City Star)

Too bad, could've been a potential Darwin Award right there.

I definitely sense a theme on OS&RR today.

[USMerc]

From the photo it looks like it opened.

"basically straight down. He has the ATM, which basically weighs 3,000 pounds"

Basically just a dumbass maneuver.

I dunno... Maybe if you survive that, you should be given an empty ATM and a pat on the head as a prize. (it will keep criminals very very busy for a very long time without tax $ for prison)

i am sure he will sue the bank and the skidloader manufacturer for injuries he recieved.

Does this ever work? The manufacturers are doing a good job on these things. I mean even IF you can get the ATM, has anyone successfully got one open? I mean without the use of explosives, which kind of defeats the purpose.

I thought he tumbled down the hill with a stolen ATV. That would have made sense.

[Russ]

Maybe he stole it from a strip club.

[KC]

He took the ATM from one bank to another -- a Robin Hood act, perhaps?
