In the town of Buxton, NC, back in '79 or '80, they had a dollar machine for gas. You put a dollar bill in the slot and you could pump a bucks worth of gas.
One day, the machine broke. You didn't have to put a buck in, just pick up the handle and start pumping. There were folks that were filling up garbage cans with gasoline and driving off. The cops had every transaction on a camera from the station. They did try to prosecute a couple but the judges attitude was that it was the compay's fault for not ensuring that their equipment was in proper working order. The only person that was found guilty of anything was a guy that was still storing the gasoline in his backyard in a garbage can, he was nailed for an illegal container.

So if an ATM machine churns out money you can take it?
That sounds like an "urban legend"
