So this week in ratchet crimes…
It was reported that a Chinese woman destroyed an ATM machine at a mall in China simply because it didn’t dispense her cash. She used her bare hands to completely dismantle the machine. See the pictures below to check out the carnage she caused.
City residents watched as security guards had to rush to the scene to stop this woman’s rampage. When they arrived they found the woman pounding the machine and mumbling to herself.
“After dismantling the machine, she even stood there as if nothing had happened, but was then taken back to the police station once police arrived,” said one representative.
According to the same representative, she was probably able to break into the machine because it was an older machine that hadn’t been updated. The plastic casing around it was probably very brittle. Still, it took a lot of strength for her to pull this off.
Her explanation as to why she was doing that? “[This ATM machine] is my friends. I’m allowed to break it.” It was alluded to that she was probably mentally ill. The police revealed that the woman is surnamed Lin, and is from the Guangxi province’s Nanning city. She’s also 28 years old.
We wish her good luck in getting her life back together.
