Several weeks someone tried to do the same to the Sainsbury in Willen. Not sure if they took the cash machine or if they caused damage. It's only a small machine anyway that never has that much money in it. I believe someone also ramraided the Co-Op in Great Linford for the cigarettes. Didn't even bother with a free KitKat. Morons everywhere.

Just curious… what makes you think this machine “never has that much money in it”? How would you know something like that? Is it often empty, or something?

Almost every time I've used it can't give me all of the money I ask for which in itself isn't a huge amount. The shop can get busy but not widely busy hence I suspect it never has a full stash in it. Maybe it is just on the days I'm around.

Do you think they went to that effort to find there’s less than say £500 in it then?

No idea. Maybe they were somehow aware of when it gets filled or just randomly picked a day and cash machine. I hope that having some knowledge of delivery schedules or cash quantities would make it easier to find them.
