Pwffft they’re trying to break it with their feet, so cute.
In Brazil they wrap ATM s in chains and rip them off using trucks. Then take the ATM to a safe house and bust it open. That is happening since 1990s.
I was surprised when I saw someone doing the same in Australia, with a constructions site digger. I think it was last year.
Conclusion: Brazil exports crime 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s the standard practice in most countries- if you take the whole unit you can break into it later!
Unless your partner in crime is a SKANK!
we had a rash of people doing that to ATMs in the US, too.
Just get a ute and some angle grinders, detach the entire thing from the bus stop qt the dead of night and take your time to work on it at home
Just make sure your hiding your identity
Use a super common ute with a number plate switcher that rolls the number plates and switch number plates in a large enough area with camera deadspots
Then ditch the car somewhere, light it up to incinerate it and switch to another vehicle in another camera deadspot
You should be able to bust it open using liquid nitrogen and warn water. I don’t think that the glass is made for being able to tank temperature differences of over 200°C
A crowbar to the side is what eventually broke it open.
And no one went up to it with an angle grinder? Pretty sure you can cut it with a diamond blade.
the plastic in the lamination would foul it.
Personally… I would have gotten a hammer-drill and put a chisle bit on it. It’ll take time but you’ll get there. Alternatively, I’d attack the seam around it (Cutter spreader should take that nicely.) (you can rent a hammer drill for like… 50 bucks. and I know you can rent various types of cutter spreaders, too.)
Go on facebook marketplace, buy cheapest car near me that runs rhe have “car accident” in the wee hours.
Your comment is the fifth from the top in my view. And I had already decided to crash a car without airbags into the sign. Why wait for the wee hours? Just do it®
Legit? Theres been several incidences worldwide of people driving cars into crowds of people and I dont want to get accused of domestic terrorism or have to beat a bunch of public endangerment charges in court.
I mean its 3 MILLION DOLLARS! but its also only 3 million dollars. If I have to replace the bus stop, pay a bunch of lawyer fees, have my licence revoked for a year or two, possibly have charges on my record that would make it hard to get a job… Its “life just got a lot easier” money but not quite “Set for life”
I call BS. There are still tools and ways you could easily break through it. Plenty of which are far better than just kicking it.
No no no. Chop chop master onion head taught me everything I need to know.
Kick punch it’s all in the mind, if ya wanna test me, I’m sure you’ll find, the things I teach ya are sure to beat ya! Nevertheless you get a lesson from teacher! Now…
KICK!
There was a guard. It was only $500. People were invited to kick it, but it was monitored.
Ah, I’m going to miss Snopes in the post-truth society. :(
Dremel with a diamond drill bit would make quick work of that
If it’s 3 million dollars, my car at 30mph should handle it.
Bus stop.
Bus.
Pretty sure if the bus went at it fast enough backwards it would do better than some clown and his size 11s
Pretty much any tool with a cutting surface made of tungsten, high speed steel, or industrial diamond.
But one source I found says they only let people use their feet.
And nobody thought to install some glass breakers on the bottom of their boots?
Edit: Hell, I’d even consider wedging a nice sharp piece of quartz into the tread of a boot.
Bullet proof glass is plexiglass/polycarbonate, so I don’t think a glass breaker would help.
What about spiked cleats?
Oddly enough having lots of spikes hurts your chances by spreading the force over more area. You’d really just want a single small spike.
This isn’t plexiglass, it seems to just be laminated glass
Hmm, bullet proof glass is plexi/polycarb, so I wonder why they’re advertising it as such.
If they’re only allowing kicking, you should use a 50cal shoe!
Bulletproof glass, but they didn’t allow tools? Is this the company that made glass for the cybertruck?
That’s the point.
They didn’t want anyone to be actually able to get the money.
3M bulletproof* glass.
*kickproof
The marketing stunt came to a halt after just one day when the security guard noticed the metal frame of the glass case had been weakened from the constant barrage of physical pressure.
** Kickproof™ is a trademark name of 3M Corporation. all kicks are performed by trained professionals; not resistant to kicking; consult with your doctor before trying
Get a long industrial chain, tie it around the display, drag the whole thing away with a truck. Drag all the way out to the middle of nowhere and then take your time figuring out how to break, take part, cut, burn, explode or destroy the glass.
This reminds me of that breaking bad episode.
Box truck with Faraday cage for blocking gps.
PR, only installed for the photoshoot, if that.
You guys are all coming at this like they put real money in there

thanks for the article, it seems there are rules that you can only kick the glass too, that’s why everyone is kicking it.
Ya for sure. No rules and a true $3M prize will have a group of us with jeeps and winches pulling it apart in 30min
The marketing stunt came to a halt after just one day when the security guard noticed the metal frame of the glass case had been weakened from the constant barrage of physical pressure.
Why not just let people keep going until someone breaks the frame? Still makes for a good marketing blurb - “the iron broke before the glass did!”
Because they didn’t actually want to give away any of their money. We’re toys for them and they made us dance
The planet broke before the guard!
i ate the onion
Have they tried shooting it?
Well, I’d give it a shot at least
Yeah, but after you’ve taken a shot of vodka, what are you going to do about the money?
You’re mistaken. They want to give the vodka to the glass.

This was a marketing gimmick, they had guards to make sure no one actually broke it

Hey it’s bullet proof, not foot proof
foot clan operations intensify
Not on our watch!
Some of those Minnesota studded shoes would help. Can’t go slipping on the ice, can we, best to be prepared.
They should’ve tried doing this in Romania, the entire bus stop would have disappeared overnight…
Half of Europe: Romanians steal everything!
Otther half of Europe: Czechs steal everything!You’re right, systemic theft (corporate and institutional) is way more damaging than petty theft and people don’t talk about it nearly enough. Both occur at different rates in different countries but mostly based on opportunity, not culture.
Yeah… doesn’t matter who we are… Romanians, Czechs, Germans, Americans, whatever… All of the same flesh.
We’ll just keep returning here, over and over again, as long as we let greed and hate drive us. The tools are not to blame, it’s the hands which use them that are.
Yeah, it was unfair of me to propagate the stereotype (speaking as a Romanian myself). We have a lot of good people around here, who’re just doing their best to be decent and get by.
But it’s not easy being an honest citizen in a country where the most prolific thieves are the people who’re supposed to govern it… Corruption has been the main thing plaguing these lands ever since the Revolution, when the profiteers saw an opportunity to sell this country for parts…
To be clear, I’m not siding with the former “Communist” regime, which was a Totalitarian cesspit, but I sure as fuck don’t agree with the mockery of Democracy which came after that, either…
I was so certain the link would lead to the website of the British Museum.
