How many times have you found yourself ready to head out for that sporting event, concert, or birthday party, and as you get into the car you realize that you don't have any cash? Most of us live a pretty fast paced lifestyle and wait till the last minute to do everything. ATM cash machines have become a way of life for many people. They offer a nice convenience to those on the run, but they also offer a nice convenience to thieves. What better place to find people with cash on hand than at the ATM. Just because these machines are open 24/7 doesn't mean they are safe to use. ATM safety requires awareness and a little planning.
Most ATM robbery victims are women and are alone when the robberies occurred. The robbers usually prefer to work alone. They will hang out somewhere near the cash machine where they will be hard to notice, usually behind bushes or trees, concrete barriers, or sometimes in a nearby automobile. They like to use the element of surprise on their victims.The majority of victims claim that they never saw the robber coming until it was too late. In drive thru ATM robberies, the robber usually approaches from the rear of the car on the driver's side. Walkup ATM robberies occurred in many different ways. Many times the thief will wait on the right opportunity, get out and act as if he is using the ATM in front of his intended target, and then rob the person when they walk up behind him. The percentage of robberies is slightly higher at walkup ATM's than at driveup ATM's.
