ATM's – Boon or Bane?
THE MOON ROCK FIRE DEPARTMENT in Robinson, Pennsylvania (near Pittsburgh), was called out on an extrication call early Tuesday morning. Around 1:30 am the police found a woman with her hand stuck in an ATM machine at a branch bank.
Fire Chief Paul Kashmer said that they were able to free her without injury by using a "special piece of equipment." Erica Williams told the officers that she had tried to withdraw some money, but only the receipt came out. Then somehow her fingers got trapped in the rollers. (Firegeezer notes: Yeah, sure.)

MEANWHILE IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, the police and the state fire marshal investigators are looking for a 58-year-old man named Wesener Romukus Jean. He walked into a Wachovia Bank branch last week and tried to withdraw money from an account that has been closed for three years. When the teller refused to give him the money, Jean got irate and stormed out.
He went to his bicycle parked out front and pulled out a can of campstove fuel from his backpack (everybody carries that in their backpack, don't they? …. ed.). He then poured some into the ATM and set it alight.
The vapor flashed back into his face causing him to panic and flee on his bike leaving his backpack and emergency fuel ration behind. The surveillance camera caught all the action, but so far the police haven't caught Wesener Romukus Jean.
