United Press International: Thieves who hotwired a forklift and used it to steal an ATM in California were busted when sheriff's deputies tracked the machine via GPS. Officials found the ATM about four hours after it was stolen. The thieves allegedly tried using a pry bar, welder's torch and sledgehammer to open the ATM but weren't able to crack it by the time it was repossessed.
