This Again?

We suppose if it works - and by all accounts, it works too well - why change the methodology?

  • Chicago police are investigating after burglars crashed into a Northwest Side business on Sunday morning.

    It happened at about 3:53 a.m. in the 800-block of N. Western Avenue, Chicago police said.

    CPD said dark-colored SUV crashed into the front entrance and multiple people then took an ATM.

Um, Chicago and Western isn't the "...Northwest Side..." by a long shot. Just because it's north and west of State and Madison doesn't make it "northwest."

In the meantime, if businesses aren't reinforcing their storefronts, putting up bollards, roll-down shutters, along with pointy-steel spears at windshield level, we suppose this will keep happening. The manpower situation isn't helping things either.

I wonder who it could be. And my favorite movie is The Usual Suspects.

Most of the people in the news media are non Chicagoans and have no clue when it comes to Chicago geographical boundaries.

OT: Established court cases and the law state that if you die before you can appeal your case, the case is vacated. So.......might Sean Graysons conviction be vacated?

Your reply is the same response to car thefts and shootings. Hold the car and gun manufacturers accountable not the criminals. So fucking savages who get caught stealing ATMs have hardly any accountability. So fuck citizens because our States Attorneys, judges, and politicians fail us miserably. And you are the police? Look for another profession Chumley!

A 12 foot high fence topped with concertina wire backed up by a moat filled with alligators would also work.

A few armed sentry on rooftops should suffice.

why has DC Traci Edwards significant other done anything about this? They created a ATM task force team for her and haven’t heard/seen from them in the over 3 plus months they’ve been established.

I went to the Credit Union on 103rd and Pulaski the other day. The ATM was down and there were no tellers working. It wouldn’t work there.

I once heard a Ch5 reporter call the 300 block of West Superior as the Northwest Side. That is what they get when out of towners and interns write the copy for the teleprompter

Shouldn’t there be a district in the CPD that takes care of this type of crime?

Those machines are insured and you better believe the owners claim triple or more the amount of money that was actually in it. They make out, hence why there's not more outrage from business owners.

There should be an ATM Taskforce to look specifically into these cases, its probably the same guys? Shouldn't be too hard to figure out!!!

Went to Aurora Mall outlet last Xmas. They have 5’ movable (locked in) concrete stanchions that are put in when mall is closed - can’t possibly get a car thru them. They are unlocked, caps put on holes, and removed right before mall opens. Stores with valuables/ATMs need some of these. At least make it tougher for these lowlifes to destroy your businesses!

Maybe you missed the memo, she went somewhere else. Not on the ATM task force.
