Another Problem-Reaction-Solution I was thinking about
this morning when I heard yet another ATM (Auto Teller)
was blown up.

This is of course easy money if you have a few explosives!

This could be a good reason to push the cashless society
so that people won't have the need for Atm's or Cash.

Johannesburg - Three robbers made off with undisclosed amount of money after a Standard Bank automated teller machine was bombed in Langlaagte south west of Johannesburg on Thursday, police said.

Captain Bheki Mavundla said the ATM was bombed at about 03:00 at the Industrial area. Commercial explosives were used.

"Three men were seen at the ATM just before it exploded," he said.

The trio fled in an unmarked car.

Police are investigating.
