After ATM's first came out a woman in Houston was kidnapped, tied to a tree and tortured to death for her ATM pin. ATM's have cameras so they recorded every attempt to withdraw money from her account with a fake pin number she gave them. They returned everytime to where she was tied to the tree and got another number. They even took pictures of her tied to the tree with her cell phone camera. All this played out on the front page of the newspaper in Houston. She eventually died. Not sure they got any money other than what she just took out.

I decided at that point I would never use an ATM.

I get cash at the bank. I refuse an envelope every time. One time my wife was going out of town and needed cash. She hates one hundreds. So I got her 8 twenty dollar bills, I said yes to the envelope and had it in my hand when I left the bank. I was followed 8 miles to my next appointment, where my car was broken into in a parking garage of a State of Texas office building. I put my brief case in the trunk with the cash. They did not want to open any doors, lest the alarm would go off. The window replacement was $1000.

People in Houston are starting to not lock their cars, so they don't have to pay for window replacement. Cars in bar parking lots are the big target. Pickup trucks. Any cars with conservative stickers.

I hope none of the police are charged or receive negative reports on their files in this incident.
