Occasionally, one might ponder if such incidents occur frequently in Germany. While it's necessary to clarify that such events are indeed rare, it is essential to realize that they do occasionally occur worldwide. In the United States, for instance, cases like the 2016 Sedalia, Missouri, incident involving a truck ramming an ATM inclusive of skimming and stealing cash remain etched in our collective memory.
Residents of Edermünde-Holzhausen are being urged to stay vigilant, reporting any unusual activities or suspicious individuals around ATMs, to ensure their surroundings remain secure.

Postscript: To clarify, the activities surrounding these types of incidents are seldom documented extensively in German law enforcement statistics or reports. However, investigations and related discussions point to bolder attempts at ATM theft – strategies like skimming or the manipulation of the machine's operating system – being more common than this specific scenario.
On the other hand, the International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes (ICCS) is a valuable resource for exploring broader crime categorizations, although it does not specifically concentrate on cases involving vehicles being driven over ATMs.
