Ironically, it is to steal the fiat that has been deposited in the machine.

Apparently the first Bitcoin ATM machine (BTM) in US that has been stolen this nov,3 which makes it the 3rd BTM robbery case overall so far... According to the official statement "criminals would not be able to re-sell it because it is registered to the buyer with serial numbers linking them to the original owners. Moreover, no one except the owner will be able to get any bitcoins from the machines while most BTMs don’t hold a lot of cash inside as a rule."

So why would anyone target Bitcoin ATM machines... lack of knowledge, stupidity or something else?
