Security-camera footage shows the vehicle barreling into the site’s parking lot around 4 a.m. and two men, dressed with black gloves and masks, leaping out of the car. One of the crooks uses a metal object to smash through a glass window of the convenience store, then runs through its aisles toward the ATM with a metal cable attached to the SUV outside. He breaks open the bottom of the ATM, attaching the cable to the safe inside.
The SUV driver outside then slams on the gas, ripping the ATM from its corner, smashing through aisles on the way out. The driver floors it again, and the first thief bolts out of the way as the metal box explodes out of the store window.
The driver then attempts to escape with the metal safe dragging behind their getaway car. The heavy box crashes into another vehicle before it’s pulled again behind the SUV, careening down the street in White Settlement, a suburb outside of Fort Worth.
Inside, the 7-eleven is destroyed, with shelves toppled and snacks covering the floor. In the security footage from outside the store, it’s unclear if the second thief ever made it back into the SUV. The ATM was later found in a ditch near an auto dealership by cops, who were able to recover the safe and all of its contents.

Better late than never. It's still on sale...
In the late 1980s somebody stole the large safe out of the Smittys grocery store in Stephens, Arkansas. They managed to get it on a pallet jack, rolled it out back to the receiving lift, and carried it away. The safe was found in the woods near Hope, Arkansas over 70 miles away, unopened.
