Kentucky: Two men tried to pull the front off a cash machine by
running a chain from the machine to the bumper of their pickup truck.
Instead of pulling the front panel off the machine, though, they
pulled the bumper off their truck. Scared, they left the scene and
drove home. With the chain still attached to the machine. With their
bumper still attached to the chain. With their vehicle's license plate
still attached to the bumper. A woman was reporting her car as stolen,
and mentioned that there was a car phone in it. The policeman taking
the report called the phone, and told the guy that answered that he
had read the ad in the newspaper and wanted to buy the car. They
arranged to meet, and the thief was arrested.
