Moving to my car. However much scratch I got coming out of that ATM, it aint worth what may happen here. Again, I\'m presuming but, I figure the money is gonna appear as they are closing in on the machine. They get what they were after and I get to go home. As they take the money from the machine, the video camera in the machine will get a good recording of at least one if not both. Not gonna pepper spray these guys as I really dont think there are just 2 of them. Somebody drove them there and is probably waiting in the garage to pick them up.
Ps, this is why I dont use ATMs. Had a rash of these type robberies here in Tampa about 2 yrs ago.

Do not use them......plan ah e a d. In fact, do not even know how to use one.

I am with jdsummer, except punch the cancel button on the atm as you walk away. Hopefully they will get to the machine just in time for it to spit your worthless card out. Three wrong pin numbers and it is just a piece of plastic. By then you are in your car backing away and have you finger on the send button of your cell phone ready to dial 911 if you have to.

Since im not out at 2am im a early bird ..lol Would probley do the cancle thing and and split to the car.. course when im at the atm unless its in the company van im armed and if its company van its deposit only no withdraws on company card ... if they wanna take my deposit they can 99% of time its checks hell ill give um the van and company credit card if they want ... As is company policy..

Cancel button. I haven\'t used atms enough to think of that one. Good. I was thinking bail to the car and make a report.

I\'m with you, they charge you to use an ATM, but using a cashier costs you nothing. Doesn\'t make sense to me....

I only use atm\'s inside of buildings, not in the parking lot.

However, at that disatnce you\'re already threatened. look for cover, blade your stance with the gun away from them and put your hand on your hip. They might just turn and walk if they think you\'re armed and realize that you are aware of their intentions.

btdt. still do that at least once a month. gotta pay rent, ya know, and i dont have a checking account.

usually i\'ll make sure my weapon is visible, my shirt pulled over it, or coat pulled back enough so anyone approaching might see it.

then again, since i dont have a car, i am on foot, so my threat \'assessment'is usually kicked up an extra notch or two.

BAM!!!
