    Given that most ATMs carry $10K or less, this was not a very lucrative job

    @Louie Freeman: During the week, by law, this ATM must hold anywhere from sixty to seventy million dollars in cash and coin. On a weekend, between eighty and ninety million. On a fight night, like the one two weeks from tonight, the night we're going to rob it, at least a hundred and fifty million. Without breaking a sweat. Now there are twenty of us. Each with an equal share. You do the math.

    Indeed, this is a lesson that you should reformat the drive of any machine you steal, right away. Also, change the MAC address.

    @tudza: Unless of course, your computer happens to have a firmware password that requires a prompt before you can continue. Even if a thief knows to wipe the computer first, it's likely that it won't know how to get passed this.

    What happened to passwords and auto-locking computers? If any computer of mine was stolen, it would be basically useless to the person unless they were smart enough to re-install an O/S.

    i think i would be afraid of the dude coming after me when his sentence is up. so after he spends a week in the clink for stealing my stuff he comes back to my house to mock me. may not be worth the internet fame. or it just might be.

    A little remote mocking never hurt anyone.


    Of course, in the real world, the thief will probably file a counter-suit against the owner for invasion of privacy, destruction of property (digital content), and defamation of character; and in all likelihood, win.

    This reminds me of the movie Bank Job which i saw i think it was last weekend.

    They did the same exact thing except they didnt have that much security to go through. They just had to dig under the dam vault.

    they got to take home millions of dollars worth of diamonds, the least they could have done is cleaned up their mess a bit.

    @AppleAppleApple: Yeah, if they were really classy they would have cleaned it all up and left CZs or other fakes in place of the real diamonds. Would have been weeks or months before someone started asking questions.
