We've had several occasions here where somebody has stolen a backhoe or
front-end loader from a construction site, driven to the nearest ATM,
and loaded the whole ATM into a (usually stolen) truck.

Also, what is the density of outdoor ATMs?  I'm in a suburban area, and
there may be one every mile or two.  How large is the fiber plant?
Miles and miles of continuous fiber, every inch of which is equally
important.  A lot of it here is even on poles, not buried.
