In the 2002 movie The Barbershop, there was a reoccurring storyline where two guys were stealing an ATM machine. The movie took place in Chicago. It was supposed to be a ridiculous crime that would never happen in real life, made comical the more ridiculous it got. That was 2002. This is 2022 Lori Lightfoot's Chicago. One where businesses are to blame when crimes are committed against them. And one where thieves steal A FREAKIN' BACKHOE to break into an ATM machine.
"This is crazy, this is insane. What is wrong with us? This is what we’re doing now?"
It would appear yes.
"How could someone do something like this and no one hears anything?"
That's the million-dollar question. Or, whatever amount was in the ATM machine.
I don't live in a liberal city where liberal politicians have made crime legal. I live in real America where those politicians don't get elected. So I can laugh about this.
Give the thieves credit for ingenuity! There is a group of associates who were plannings a heist. One of them, probably joking at first, suggested since they were stealing anyway, why not steal a backhoe? They can drive it to the ATM machine, break into it, and leave the backhoe for the owner to claim later. So it wasn't "stealing" the backhoe, per se. It was more borrowing it.
At first, it was a crazy idea. Then when no one had any better ones they said, "F*ck it. Who do we know with a backhoe?" It obviously worked. Our out-of-the-box thinking friends get kudos for that!
