Excellent idea! :thumbs2:
Another good idea is to do your ATM transactions during the day. Both of these assaults were at 9pm.[/quote]

Yep... I left that one out. Bad guys don't like daylight.

Police believe the same BG has done this twice.

If you watch the video, he walks away holding the gun in a way that suggests that he may have not had any bullets in it.

Is there a safe way to use an ATM or just safer times and locations? It doesn't seem to be any safer to use the ATM in a drive thru either. Whenever I use the ATM I feel like I have a bullseye on my back. I hate it. I just try to use the ATM on base.
