TECHNICIAN OF THE WEEK: STUCK IN AN ATM

by Hazed

Oh dear, what can the matter be? One technician stuck in the ATM…

Police had to come to the aid of a technician who got trapped inside an ATM in Corpus Christi, Texas. He had accidentally locked himself inside the ATM room, and because he had left his phone in his truck couldn’t call for help.

His only way of contacting the outside world was to scribble notes on pieces of paper then push them through the machine’s slot when people took money out. His notes said:

“Please help. I’m stuck in here and I don’t have my phone. Please call my boss at 210-***-****.”

The people in receipt of his scribbled cries for help thought it was a prank at first – presumably they started looking around for video cameras. But then one of them called the police, who sent officers to check out the building and discovered there really was a man stuck inside the ATM.

“We come out here, and sure enough we can hear a little voice coming from the machine,” said senior officer Richard Olden. “So we are thinking this is a joke. It’s got to be a joke.”

They had to kick down the door to the room the poor guy was trapped in, but they got him out unharmed.

“Everyone is OK, but you will never see this in your life, that somebody was stuck in the ATM,” Olden said. “It was just crazy.”
