Two men who tried to use a blow torch to break into an ATM in Florida "bungled the job" when they instead welded the machine's hinges shut.

The suspects tried to bust the machine open around 3:15 a.m. on The Boardwalk on Okaloosa Island on Friday morning, officials said.

While one of the men was seen holding a crowbar and keeping watch, the other man took a blow torch to the ATM.

But instead of cutting the machine open with the torch, the bumbling would-be thief welded the metal parts shut — and the pair left with nothing.
