"Two men are in police custody after allegedly trying to steal an ATM machine from a credit union with a tractor on the South Side, San Antonio officials said.
According to San Antonio police, authorities received a call from the security company that monitors the bank, informing them that someone was attempting to steal an ATM with a front loader.
Police said they arrived to the scene and saw the ATM completely pulled out of the ground. Officials detained two men that were fleeing the location in a truck and a trailer.
The suspects are believed to be in their mid-20s to early 30s. The identification of the men have not been released at this time."

 
Has this ever worked for anybody?

This same technique was attempted over 20 years ago at my credit union, and the thieves ended up blowing two of the tractor's tires, forcing them to leave it an the ATM machine behind.
Needless to say, it didn't take long to track down the tractor's owner, who turned out to be the "mastermind" of the epic fail, losing both his tractor and his freedom.
