While the customer is looking to see what is wrong he steals the money that they just received from their bank. It happened to one of our customers yesterday and we have heard it happened to a Regions customer today. I don’t want to cause wide spread panic but just beware.

Sounds like he needs to meet the Mississippi Castle Law.

Before long surely he will choose the wrong little old lady who is packing.

lets pray he does not seriously hurt someone

I deal with atm machines almost every day...They are very dangerous places....

I will usually park and watch a couple minutes before I ever approach one...when I do go up, I only take the atm card and I have it in my hand ready to go when I get there...so I'm watching whats going on around me not screwing around with my wallet....

Course I usually have a couple friends in my pockets handy as well...

Pay attention walking up to a machine....look around as you operate it.

Get your $ and get gone....

And do it in the daytime when others are around if possible.

It amazes me how inattentive most people are. Most people are completely oblivious to what's going on around them.

I'm not paranoid, but I watch people who are around me.

Most people are too busy bumping their gums on the cell phone, or listening to the iPod to look around and see whats happening within 10' of them.
