Sometimes one should be thankful for faulty ATMs
March 20th, 2009Most of the time people curse and swear upon finding out that the ATM they spent so much time and energy reaching turns out to be out of order.
But things happen for a reason, and sometimes events happen that remind us to count our blessings instead.
Like in the case of a young housewife, who on the evening of 18th of March 2009 had just withdrawn RM100 from an ATM in Taman Midah, Cheras and was walking towards her husband who was waiting in the car nearby.
Suddenly, 4 men in a Honda CR-V grabbed hold of her, forced her in, then blindfolded her.
Her husband did not even notice it happening.
They then drove around Cheras in a Honda CR-V on a 5-hour ride of terror, only to find every single ATM there non-operational.
At 2am, they finally gave up and dropped her off somewhere.
Of course the robbers could’ve very well harmed the lady out of anger.

… so, next time ATMs in your area act up again, don’t be so fast calling them moving services …
