Note from the Editor

The creation of this section of ATMsecurity.com was influenced by two very separate conversations. The first was with a semi-retired insurance investigator who expressed his frustration that appeals and requests for information often are limited in media exposure to a local region or state, in contrast to the criminals responsible who often give little or no consideration to geographical boundaries. The second conversation (via e-mail) was a much more emotional and in some ways almost personal in nature – with the daughter of a murder victim (Tony Lombardi) that just happened to have a connection with the ATM industry.

There is neither intention nor any implication that this section is a substitute for the excellent services and initiatives that our law-enforcement communities provide globally. The only distinct advantage is that with ATMsecurity.com, the focus is primarily on ATM related crime and our readers have a specific interest in that area of criminality.
