Rat Breaks Into an ATM, Eats Nearly $20,000 in Cash, Then Drops Dead




This rat nearly got away with $18,000! 




After reports of a malfunctioning ATM, investigators found $18,000 in shredded bank notes and the remains of one money-hungry rat.

Officials report that the clever rodent evaded security, entered into the ATM vault, and proceeded to feast upon nearly half the cash locked inside.  Out of the $42,685 that was supposed to be available, only $25,022 was recovered intact.     

“We have started an investigation into this rare incident and will take measures to prevent a recurrence,” said branch manager Chandan Sharma.

Police say that the rat acted alone, with no human accomplices.

    This story may be true, but why would there be denominations other than $20 bills in an ATM that most likely only spits out $20 bills? Not One Dollar bills or $5 bills…They are all set to dispense either $20 or $50 bills….S T R A N G E don’t ya think?

      They may be counting deposited money at the ATM also?

    ATMs take in other denominations, even if they only disperse $20 bills. There are also other video teller machines that function as atms and as a replacement for the drive through that operate with other denominations.

    BS, the cash is in cassettes inside of the ATM.
