We will file this one under dumb criminals. Last week videos were posted to social media showing three men trying to steal an ATM from a 7-11 in Lacy Lakeview, Texas. Here is the funny part: the ATM fell out of the back of the truck as they drove away. I would not be surprised if this ends up on on Worlds Dumbest Criminals.

 

Thanks to social media, here are some more dumb criminals trying to steal ATMS...

Last year, a video went viral from Waco, Texas! It shows a group of thieves working together to basically yank an ATM out of a Waco convenience store.  What is going on with kids today? The three men in the video were using a stolen truck out of Waco, according to the police. The stolen ATM and car used in that theft were found dumped, nearby, later that day.  Take a look at the video that was posted to Dallas Texas TV Facebook page.
