Hacking ATM Users by Gluing Down Keys

Apparently thieves have begun gluing down the "Enter", "Cancel"and "Clear" buttons on certain bank machines. The guise is simple - some ATM machines also have a touch-screen display. If the customer is unaware of this, or just not thinking too clearly, they may enter the pin, and then not getting the results they expected, figure that the machine is broken. They then leave the machine unattended. The thief then presses the "Enter" equivalent on the touch screen, takes the money, and runs.
