Call it cash-cow tipping.
Curbside ATMs are vanishing off the streets of the Lower East Side faster than you can say, “Pastrami on rye,” and cops are trying to figure out who’s making the felonious withdrawals.
The strange thefts began Dec. 26, when an ATM disappeared from the sidewalk outside of the Diegummers shoe store on Clinton Street near Delancey Street.
A witness told cops a van backed up onto the sidewalk at 5 a.m., knocking the machine off its concrete foundation. Two men then picked up the ATM and loaded it into the vehicle.
Two more machines, one on Clinton, the other on Ludlow Street, have since been stolen.
“As you can imagine, there’s quite an amount of money in these machines,” said one police source.
