ATM Repairman Accused of Taking (and Faking) Cash

Posted by Roblimo on from the what's-in-your-wallet? dept.

fysdt writes "An ATM repairman was nabbed in Phoenix on charges of having stolen about $200,000 in ATM funds. His method was almost brilliant in its sheer stupidity: He pocketed the cash, and replaced it in the machines with 'counterfeit or photocopied $20 bills.'"

    No, if he was smarter he would have grabbed a couple of million then gone to the Bahamas.

    As a police friend of mine says, if you're going to commit a crime, do it just once and make it worthwhile. The people who get caught are the ones who have to keep going back to do it again.
