ATM Video Footage And Theft by ifyalways(f): 2:29pm On Nov 06, 2011
Have anybody experienced atm theft in naija recently?Was s/he able to with the invent of video camera's at almost every atm machine,crack down on the thief?

I have a fulani woman that comes to braid my hair for me and last week,she came with the sad story of loosing her atm and her account already cleaned out.On probing her,she revealed that she was living with 3 other ladies,had her atm and PIN number kept together in a purse(she's not so educated and street wise,too trusting type).

I went with her to her bank,got her acct. statement and lo and behold,her acct has been cleaned out(she had like 50K).The bank however gave us the name and branch of the bank the criminal used(a different bank) and that was it,she's on her own.

When I started making noise,they said I should go get police report accompained with sworn affidavit and letter to its headquaters and their HQ would in turn contact the bank where the money was withdrawn from.

Getting the poilce report cost me 5K(had to pay for pen,writing sheet,ridiculous),2K for affidavit and with the letter we went bank to her bank as directed.

Now,i'm just wondering,its past 4 working days and we've not heard anything from the bank.Is this normal and how it ought be done?

Why all the long process and formalities?Does it make any sense fitting on videos on atm's when it takes like forever to get just a picture?

For the poor and not so enlightened(if i did not push and pay for police report,affidavit and co,the poor fulani girl was NOT even ready to do all that,she actually preferred i gave her the money as according to her "nothing wud come out of the investigation) are the video cameras any useful?

Have anyone else had atm issues and how was it resolved?
I expected her bank to pull out the face of the thief from the other bank on verifying her ID and not tasking her for police report et all,did i expect too much?

Sorry for what happened to her. She would have contacted her bank immediately she realised that her atm card was missing and the thief wouldnt av been able to use it or even be caught trying to use the card.
As for the Police issue, i dont think they would do much since the culprit got away, neither will the bank. Late Report on incident.
REALLY SORRY

Eventually, what happened?
Did you get the picture? Did she get her money back?
