Thise tight area ATMs are NOT a good bet.
I will never use a walk-up ATM if anyone else is around, and will leave if someone comes up while I'm there. One other thing: when using a drive-up ATM, always pull VERY close to the machine, so that a person could not get between your car and the machine or building wall. This keeps anyone from approaching the driver's side door. If you can, scout the ATMs you use in daylight and note the avenues of approach for someone on foot, then watch those avenues whenever you use the machine.
The ATMs I use allow you to insert your card and them remove it immediately. always do that BEFORE entering your code. If there's a vehicle in line behind you, watch your mirrors. If anyone starts to get out of the vehicle, leave immediately. If you have already entered your code, just blast off anyway, They may get your money if they are quick enough to enter an amount before the machine times out, but you will escape.
Better yet, get your pocket money when the bank's open and don't use ATMs.
