U.D. criminals hit the jackpot

File this one in the criminal chutzpah Hall of Fame.

Two guys walk into Delaware County Memorial Hospital. They calmly load an ATM machine onto a handcart and walk out of the place.

Police believe the ATM may have had as much as $96,000 loaded inside.

The whole thing was caught on the hospital video surveillance system.

These guys are either the coolest crooks around, or the dumbest criminals to come down the pike in a while.

The weird thing is the ease with which they were able to pull this off.

Maybe everyone simply assumed they were with the hospital, or maybe with the bank, or that they simply were servicing the machine.

They looked official enough, pulling up in a white van, walking right into the hospital, snipping some wires in the back of the machine, putting it on their car, then simply walking out and putting the pilfered ATM in their van.

Several people saw them, but nobody seemed to question what they were doing.

Unreal. Now comes the hard part. It’s one thing to pull off a job like this. It’s another altogether to get away with it.

I’m saying they get caught. Either they try it again or someone comes forward to dime them out.

In the meantime, they are the new proud owners of an ATM with somewhere in the vicinity of $100,000 inside.

How exactly do you go about getting the money out of an ATM. That is aside from inserting your card and making a withdrawal.

Something tells me it involves a really big hammer.
