Hi Everyone,
Just been to the BP petrol station on Laird St. and the side were the Cash Machine is has been cordoned off. I asked the woman in the garage and she said the cash machine was robbed, think it was early hours of the morning.
Looks like the door at the back of the machine has been crow barred open. They emptied the whole thing!!

There's just guttsey people around, there's a police staion a few hundred yards away, although I do know it's not manned at night!!

Lol

does enybody remember a story my mother told me in the 70s that a boy went missing and they found his bike in earlston cemertry near new brighton but never found him ??

Yeah man it's in the history section
Someone point the dude in the right direction plas
Welcome to wiki

Tell ya what, they way this country is going this type of thing may become a more frequent occurence?

Get this for gutsy... When they reopened that police station after having it refurbished not so long ago, it was broken into that night and all the appliances from the kitchen were robbed!!!

OMG!!! How funny is that!!! Cheeky buggers!!

if theyve done one locally i guess there will be a spate of this in the area

I know you shouldn't but...

Just heard at school, they got away with £15,000. It was only filled up last night...hehe!!!

Good Luck to them if they get away with it!!!

That's terrible... did they take the donut maker!?

school Gossip

I was there at 10pm last night and all was well apart from when I realised I'd be charged a pound to get my own money out I went to Tesco's...I needed sugar anyway

No - its not the bank that will pay for it, its the customers, we lose out, money doesn't grow on trees. Even if it was insured, its still Joe Public that ends up paying for it through higher insurance premiums. Theft is theft and it is ... that do it, they don't give a toss who they steal off, it could be you next!

Got to admit, having a close look at the cash machine door the other day, whilst initially it looks heavy duty and secure, the parts that actually broke were incredibly small (similar to the latch plate on a normal household internal door) - a very poor design.

I agree DD. Externally, they don't look that beefy. Maybe an "inner layer" that is a bit more up to the job lurks below some of them?? Yes, it's mugs like us that do pay in the long run.

Wouldn't be beyond the wit of man to make one out of half inch Boiler Plate with a Bonzo Chubb lock etc. That said, the thieving dross would just notch up to using a gas axe that they carry in the back of the (stolen) Tranny van !
