LEAVENWORTH, Kan. — Police say a thief who tried to bust an ATM open like a giant piggy bank is lucky to be in one piece himself.
They say the 49-year-old pried an automated teller machine loose from a credit union early Sunday by using a stolen skid loader. Then, in a bid to break open the 3,000- pound cash machine, the man used the skid loader to drop it down a 50-foot wooded embankment.
When the ATM fell, the skid loader and the thief plummeted right along with it. The man was found trapped inside the skid loader; his injuries were not thought to be life- threatening.
