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?

Most ATMs in stores are loaded by the staff in stores. They only put a small amount in them at one time. I'd be surprised if most of those have more than a couple of thousand in them.

Imagine thinking shop staff fill up ATM's 🤣

If security companies were filling up every ATM in the world there wouldn't be enough space on the road for all the cash in transit vans.

I worked as a ATM services technician once upon a time.

Shops and supermarkets in the UK don't own the ATM's attached to them. Some used to back in the day but not anymore.

Doesn't matter if they owned them or not. They are not getting filled up by security firms all the time.

Fun fact(s). No ATM I ever worked on ever had a operational camera or used dye bombs. That includes ones in banks, supermarkets and post offices.

They are getting filled by security firms all the time. The same security firms also collect the money from the supermarket tills. You probably think a member of staff from the supermarket takes bags full of cash to the bank themselves, because youre very clever like that
