    Short on cash? Reprogram the ATM

    Now that's my kind of crime. Well, not literally, you understand...
    Last month, a man reprogrammed an automated teller machine at a gas station on Lynnhaven Parkway to spit out four times as much money as it should.

    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    <quote> No one noticed until nine days later, when a customer told the clerk at a Crown gas station that the machine was disbursing more money than it should. Police are now investigating the incident as fraud. </quote>

    The article seems to suggest that if you ask for $40, it gives you 2 * $20 and charges your account 2*$5=$10. My guess is that is why nobody noticed. Either that or humanity is going down the tubes.

    But good on the lad, it was clever, but I'm amazed how people were just accepting the 'free' money.
