try. I expect it's an awful lot of effort for the cash that's actually
in the machine though.

Have they never seen 'The Great Escape'? Just look out for chaps in
baggy trousers nonchalantly strolling around with their hands in their
pockets...

I was thinking that. How much money is in a full cashpoint machine?

Wouldn't it have been easier and quicker to nick an SUV and drag the
ting out of the wall? I am wondering how they intended to get through
the foundations.

I have no idea. Tell you what, let's tunnel under Lloyds Banks and....... Oh
bugger.

Seems an *awful* lot of effort for the contents of even one well and
freshly filled cash machine. My gut feeling is they hoped to tap into the
cash in regular manner over a period of time. Though how long before the
discrepancy between the cash dispensed and that supplied rang alarm bells
is another matter.

Maybe the target wasn't so much the ready cash but the card
and pin numbers? Maybe the plan was to add some sort of scanning
device which could work undetected for quite a while, unlike the
'false fronts' which have been fitted to some machines. No idea how
feasible this would be technically, but it makes more sense that just
a one-off emptying.

I can't see how they would be able to target the cashmachine. It would
take a good bit of luck to come up right below it. I wonder if that
was the target at all. Perhaps they were intending to come up under
somewhere like the local Currys.

This is on a retail park, quite often there is a blockhouse with several
machines come up inside the blockhouse and get a few machines. Still seems
an awful lot of effort and wouldn't the interior of the blockhouse have
PIRs etc so the alarm would be triggered.
Getting card numbers and PINs is an interesting one. Though I'm not sure
how one would get undetected access to the machine internals to do that.

It must be in the tens of thousands.
They hardly ever run out at weekends now, and I've frequently seen people
trouser well over Ł100 per withdrawal.

Can't see the point in that.

I wonder if they knew that, these days, most cash machines have an
anti-tamper and vibration sensor which sprays the contents with indelible
dye?

Reminds me of a slight problem one of the banks came across in the
centre of Leicester some years back, whilst they were converting a
building for bank use.
Whilst building the vaults, they unearthed an old tunnel that ran
under several of the shops and would have been right under the vault!
Needless to say it was all concreted in.

They could have earnt much more doing an honest days work in the building trade.
