Is this guy one of the dumbest criminals ever?

A would-be ATM thief has become an overnight internet laughing stock after CCTV footage of him trying to steal a cash machine went viral.

A burglar’s attempt to steal an ATM from a petrol station in Queensland, Australia, has not earned him any money but rather a few hundred thousand views on YouTube.  

The video below shows a man breaking into a petrol station store where an ATM is situated.

He is seen attaching a chain to the ATM, but then failing to connect it to another chain attached to the back of the tow hitch.

He then drives off, taking just the chain connected to the hook with him.

When he returns to investigate, he tries to connect the two chains but when the distance between them prevents them from connecting, he gives up and decides to just drive away.

All that effort for absolutely nothing!
