Actually, they took the entire ATM machine from the Shell gas station on WLH & NP. They also did some pretty severe damage to the wall and ceiling of the business. The incident occurred on Saturday (1/2/16) morning around 5AM. Statement from HPD:"We believe there were five suspects wearing gloves and masks to conceal their identity when they used a stolen white Ford 250 truck to back into the store and steal the ATM. They were able to get the ATM machine, which was later dropped off at an unknown location. It was eventually found by HPD and returned back to the Shell station. It is difficult to identify these suspects when they conceal themselves so well, but we are still investigating and following up on every lead." 4951

@angiekaye:
You should know by now that news about Kingwood only gets widely broadcast if it it controversial or can be exaggerated. I guess they consider this ordinary... 4951

@angiekaye: Sorry. If I'd have heard about it earlier, it would've been on here. As it is, someone mentioned it to me on FB this afternoon and then I contacted HPD.  4951

@KingwoodDotCom: Drat, I am sure they spent several hours lurking around KW after the heist....if only we'd known a a KDCer could have scooped up a hefty reward.....

Kingwood is & will always be the red-headed step-child of the COH...update: Just give the city your money, the city doesn't care about anything but the money.When I lived in Kingwood I worked for the City and there couldn't care less what happened there.  In fact they think  the residents of Kingwood are a bunch of whiners.  Just bend over when you get your water bill. Emoticon     4951

They did not get away with the Atm machine. It was to heavy for them to lift into the van they had stolen. They caught one suspect but, let him go because he couldn't be identified. 4951

@Sae462:
 
That sounds a lot like the police elsewhere.
 
A few years ago, I had a cargo trailer stolen at a hotel in Tulsa, OK. The police told me they knew where the trailer was but they wanted to wait until the thieves moved it before they captured them.
 
Never heard from them for over a year. Then, one day I get a letter in the mail. The police were asking me if I had the title for the trailer and if I would send it to them so they could sell my trailer.
 
I called them and their response was that obviously I must have had it insured, so they considered it only proper that I donate it to them.
 
I never got the trailer back. They never got the title. I figure they found a way to either use it or retitle and sell it. 4951

They probably used my F250 - stolen out of my driveway in Sand Creek in 2015...lived here for 19 years but shook my confidence that Kingwood is safe. After it happened I found out that KW had almost 20 stolen cars in that month but I didn't even get an interview to see if there was commonality between the thefts (same oil change place for instance)...we live in a cul de sac toward the back of KW so it was very brazen to steal a (not quiet) diesel truck with limited escape routes...beware... lock up, use anti theft on everything and keep vigilant 4951
