Atraco a mano armada - A hold up at work

The action just keeps getting closer. Last night the "Bad guys" made a strike at work.
 When I got to work this morning everything seemed normal. As I made my rounds checking on machines and parts I stopped to talk to Miguel, the Plant 4 manager. He said that he was worried because of something that had happened on the second shift. I immediately thought that there we personnel issues and asked him what happened.
 He said that armed gunmen had entered the plant and took the night shift superintendent into their custody after taking his cell phone from him. They then commandeered a cutting torch and and proceeded on to the cafeteria where they cut open the ATM machine and cleaned it out.
 Yesterday was payday and Thursday is the day when typically the employees withdraw money from the ATM at work. Estimate is that they probably got away with 390,000-520,000 pesos. $30,000 - 40,000. Dollars American that is.
 Danny, the night superintendent was released unharmed after they got the cash. He was shaken but said that the robbers were very calm and professional. They took what they wanted and left.

 When Ruben and I went to lunch today the ATM was cordoned off and the torch was still there to the left in the photo. The investigators from the bank were there assessing the situation. You can't see it in the picture but the floor in front of the ATM was charred from the torch.
 I asked Ruben how many guys there were. He said two with Danny two more in front of the building and 4 more in a car behind the plant. He said they also held up the factory behind us VDO is their name. They wore hoods when they went VDO but were unmasked when they held us up. VDO has cameras, we don't.
 In the first photo you can see the parking lot where I park. The white pickup is mine. There is a locked gate and there is a security guard in the little building there by the gate. They are unarmed however and now I see are largely useless. They are little more than parking monitors, my sense of security has really gone down after this incident.
 The police are useless they are in collusion with the bad guys. Those guys were in the plant for more than a hour and no help arrived. Well onward and upward, tomorrow is another day. Remember it's an adventure.
