    Police said no one was hurt in the incident before dawn Thursday in Dinslaken in western Germany. A freight train from the Netherlands hit the ATM, which had been stolen from the town’s station, and the locomotive came off the track.

    It wasn’t immediately clear who stole the machine and put in on the track. Whoever was responsible didn’t get any money — the ATM was cracked open by the impact but the cash spread over the tracks was collected by police.

    The incident forced authorities to close the line for a few hours, with trains on the route between the Netherlands and western Germany diverted.

    Too bad the german trains transporting the Yidden to their deaths weren’t derailed as well.

    The ganoff probably couldn’t open the ATM so hoped that the train would bust it open, which it did, but seems the gonoff was too stupid to realize that the train would stop and the police would come.
