Smash and Grab The American Way

Big gas guzzling SUV's aren't completely worthless, especially if you need to withdraw some cash in a hurry. A surveillance camera in Orange County New York shows an intrepid robber ramming the back of his SUV through the front of a convenience store in an effort to steal its ATM--the whole machine. Starting at the top left and going clockwise, you can see 1) the SUV slamming through the front of the store 2) the driver pulling forward to give himself some room to work 3) wrestling with the heavy cash dispenser that he knocked over while entering, and 4) lifting it into the back of the vehicle. See, they aren't kidding when they advertise how much cargo space those things have!

Now surely such a criminal mastermind would not use his own car for a daring heist like that, right? A policeman in New Windsor, NY remembered pulling a similar vehicle over a few months earlier. When they went to the owner's house, cops found the SUV parked in the driveway with glass still all over it and the ATM machine sitting in the man's kitchen.
