The dude said that his dad had demolition contracts on the
buildings, and that does generally mean that whatever is there
new belongs to the demo crew.

Do I believe it? Not sure, but if real I'd bet dear old dad is getting
a big cut of it..8-)

I Don't get it :dontknow: How can Banks be so lazy and loose with their cash :icon_scratch:

Did the Place Close & Not make plans for the Banks to Come retrieve their Machines/cash ?

2 Things come to Mind though , They ignored the reject tray
and in at least 2 cases it looked like the Lock Box was not even Connected securely.


I'm a little Hesitant to believe this ? You ?



I'm in agreement with you. What people do nowadays to get a viral video and get monetized on Youtube, you can't trust a lot of it.

As this poster said about it: "After working with ATM's for years. No one leaves money in abandoned ATM's. Also the Cassettes lock into the mechanism when cash is loaded properly, so they loaded the machines before the video."

I Remember a Woman who used to Travel for the Bank and Take care of ATM's .
and was usually on call.
I Think she was a little Older then I , So she'd be Retired now.
I imagine she Had to have exemplary records , that were checked regularly.
and a $4,000 Discrepancy would have needed to be explained

Exactly, if there was $1000's missing or left in these machines, you'd have a whole lot of people being investigated by their asset protection teams. Also, my son once was shorted $20 at the ATM, he called the number provided on the ATM and they said they regularly audit it and sure enough they audited it and there was an extra 20 in the machine and they gave him his 20. If they can notice $20, no way they wouldn't notice 6000 dollars.

Yep & if by Some Freak Happening,, Like the Machine was in a Major Earthquake & Fire & written off.
that would be a One-off not 4 in one persons possession. unless the bank was unable to access the money, due to tampering.
and they hired them to retrieve it for them of course.
