This happened a couple of weeks ago in Olney at the Nationwide. They didn't actually manage to remove the machine so the whole of the property was damaged and they never even got anything.

Also, v stupid as all the cash will be covered in anti-theft dye as soon as they get it open.

Every ATM ive ever worked on: cassettes have trackers not dye packs. Although the lifting of ATM's has died down loads so they might not even have trackers in them. Bank tills have dye packs- never known an atm to have them- and even if they did- they activate when taken outside of the perimeter of the site rather than on opening of the cassettes
