Did you totally miss this part:

It was seen on a television set, and was clearly an attempt at comedy, since I've never in my life seen an ATM that looked like it could be stolen....unless you have the tools handy to remove the mortar and bricks they usually surround them with.
I never said I thought it was true, just that your story reminded me of that show
Zakk:
Actually there's a lot of atm's around here in strip clubs churches and variety stores that could be stolen.

Was the movie "Friday", or one of it's sequals? I could swear they did that in one of those movies... :-\
JoyMonkey:
It's funny. I spend a lot of time designing the surrounds that ID each ATM to a specific bank. I usually coordinate with the building engineer and the ATM team that installs the machines and have found that a lot of ATMs (particularly kiosk style machines, like you'd see in a supermarkets) would be surprisingly easy for a couple of guys to pick up and throw into a van. At first I couldn't believe it and actually called the ATM manufacturers; they said that to make installation easier the standard machines can't be bolted down and don't weigh as much as you'd think.

That sounds right, cuz Ice Cube was sticking in my head, but he wasn't the guy who's stealing it....they take it back to the guy's grandparent's house, since "they got all sorts of tools"
Mebbe Friday after Next was what it's from?
