Thieves are expected to be street smart, but sometimes lack of education can really make them look stupid. In a bizarre case in Guwahati, Assam, four robbers who wanted to steal an ATM machine from State Bank of India (SBI) ended up stealing the bank's passbook machine instead.
According to media reports, the thieves entered the Binovanagar SBI building with the intention to steal the ATM machine. However, they could not figure out the difference between the ATM and passbook machine, and ended up stealing the latter.

Nowadays, a lot of ATM centres also keep passbook-printing machines for customers to update their passbook. These thieves definitely weren't updated with the latest technology.
