A pair of doofus thieves went through all the trouble of swiping an ATM by tying it to the back of a stolen SUV and ripping it out of a Texas 7-Eleven on Christmas Eve — only to fail to get any cash. One of the crooks uses a metal object to smash through a glass window of the convenience store, then runs through its aisles toward the ATM with a metal cable attached to the SUV outside. He breaks open the bottom of the ATM, attaching the cable to the safe inside.
The SUV driver outside then slams on the gas, ripping the ATM from its corner, smashing through aisles on the way out. The driver floors it again, and the first thief bolts out of the way as the metal box explodes out of the store window.
The driver then attempts to escape with the metal safe dragging behind their getaway car. The ATM was later found in a ditch near an auto dealership by cops, who were able to recover the safe and all of its contents.
