Thieves caught stealing cash machine empty for two years
A man has been arrested for trying to steal a cash machine which has been out of order for two years.
The ATM in a Chicago restaurant has been empty since it broke down in 2000 and the firm that installed it went bust.
Restaurant staff says the gang of thieves did them a favour, as they were wondering how to get rid of the useless machine.
Three men broke into the restaurant and ripped the machine from bolts sticking it to the floor, only to find it wouldn't fit on the back seat of their car.
Police spotted them drive away with the machine sticking out their hatchback. Officers chased the gang and caught one man.
Tammy Katsenis, a waitress at the L and G Restaurant, told the Chicago Sun-Times: "The thing's been dead for all this time. They went through all that hassle for nothing."
A 32-year-old man has been charged with burglary and possession of a stolen car and burglary tools. The other two suspects remain at large.
