According to the Post, there's a pretty serious pair of thieves out there preying on helpless ATMs: "The duo has escaped with thousands of dollars in cash during their three-month crime spree, in which they used crowbars and even a Cadillac to haul away the machines, police said.... They have struck only free-standing ATMs located outside businesses, often grocery stores." They hit locations in Soho, Midtown, Lower East Side, Village, and Tribeca. But this doesn't hold a candle to the guy who dumped four ATMs a Fresh Meadows Park lake (he also jumped into the East River to evade the cops).
