My gosh, you do have a high opinion of the BIB, giving them the comparable intellect to that of a 5 year old.

You have obviously met much smarter police than I ever have.

I know nothing about ATM machine, I also didn't know that they contain that much money in them,

do they have to have so much cash in one machine? can they be replenished more often to minimize

the risks and losses? as I said, some time, common sense is the best preventions.....

I think the banks should be spending a bit more money on the quality of their ATMs.

If it is that easy to open them I am surprised that we don't see more of these items.

20,000 up to 30,000 USD is not uncommon in USA ATM machines, which would be in the 1 million Baht range in Thailand

From what i have read somewhere else, most of them seem to have 4 cassettes of 1 million baht each, 4 million.

And why would you think those are cheap machines and made in Thailand ???

Every safety expert knows that no door / lock or machine is unbreakable !!! no house is 100% safe to brake-ins !!!

All you can do is make it as hard as possible for the robber so he looses time,...time is important for them !!!

ATM machines have been robed in the west too....with the wright tools and experience everything can be opened...!!!

Best regards.
