No GPS? Nothing to bolt or chain the ATM in place? Sounds like this coffee shop was asking for it.

Yes, Josh, it was bolted down, cemented in, and had a GPS, and they found it because of the GPS.
The Coffee shop had rented the space to the owner of the machine, and it was recovered, with the GPS data. Doubt of those who stole it will be out and about for a while.
