Janitor Camps By Thieving ATM

atm01When Mr. Mao, a janitor from Shenzhen, China deposited 7,000 yuan (about $1000) of his earnings in an ATM and was met with an error message he became proactive.

Rather than leave anything to chance, he called his family and requested a portable bed and table. He then camped out by the ATM until the bank opened and returned his money.

    I might just have done the same because that is a buttload of cash. Personally though I wouldn’t have used an ATM for a deposit, especially that big.

      With the wages that are paid in China that is a considerable amount. Due to the hours that I work, sometimes I am forced to deposit through ATMs, fortunately though, in japan, they are always staffed.
