More..appened at about 3 a.m. at the Tesoro Gas Station at 17th and Ray.
Police say a man drove a stolen truck into the front of the gas station, smashing the glass doors.
He then tied one end of the chain to the bed of the truck and wrapped the other end around the ATM and dragged it from the store.
He was able to place the machine in the truck and drive off.
When police got to the scene they noticed a trail of liquid and followed it down to 15th and Magnolia, where they located the stolen truck and ATM. Police are still looking for the burglar.
Officers say it appears no cash was taken from the ATM.
There have been six ATM thefts or attempted thefts in the Spokane city limits and four in the county since October 8th. Less..

looks like a good career move to get into until you get caught of course

I thought some paint will make the money useless ?
I guess they found something to prevent that because we still see videos on LL stealing a ATM..
How come ??

You sure this isnt Spokane, Washington? We have a 17th and Ray with a Tesoro on it as well. That'd be awkward as hell if it wasnt!

When is 7-11 going to learn to put the ATM's in a place that can't be crashed into. I'm not saying put it in a dark corner but at least protect it. A nice hidden crash barrier would be fun.

Hey Mac, where do you want that ATM? "er put it close to the door, and make sure it is light enough for two guys to carry"....Brilliant!

Deductive reasoning suggests, based on the very first word of the description being SPOKANE, that it might very well be Spokane indeed.

Crash barriers outside the door might help.
