Always lock your truck or van. Right?

Well, two ATM Response employees in Decatur, Ga. did lock their van, but they left it running with the keys in the ignition when going into a bank to make a cash drop.

Ten minutes or so later when they came back out, the van was gone along with its load of $1.8 million in cash. All that was left was some broken glass and surveillance footage.

Video shot around 6:45 a.m. on Sept. 8 outside of the Citizens Trust Bank shows a man in dark pants and a baggy gray long-sleeve shirt with a black backpack. He first attempts to open the door, then breaks the glass, hops inside and drives off.

The van was found later that day in the 4700 block of Galleon Crossing. The suspect remains at large, according to ajc.com. 

Anyone with any information on the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477, or text 274637 or visit crimestoppersatlanta.org.
