Why commit one crime when you could just double down?

Meanwhile in Montana . . .

Fun fact about ATM machines — when a card is reported stolen, then someone tries to use it at an ATM machine, the machine will eat the card!

Pretty cool, right?

Guy Murray Culligan (57) of Missoula, Montana doesn’t think so.

Dude got his thievin’ hands on a stolen debit card and headed straight for an ATM machine to take out some cash.

Unfortunately for Guy, the machine ate the stolen card.

Guy was NOT. HAVING. THAT. and was so not about to have an inanimate object get the best of him.

One minute, Guy was all about that “get cash” mindset, but it quickly turned into a “get revenge” mentality.

So Guy left the ATM and hit up a gas station . . . where he bought exactly ONE DOLLAR worth of gas . . . which he poured into a pipe bomb . . . drove back to the ATM that bested him . . . and threw it at the machine in an attempt to blow it up.

Check out that photo HERE.

Thankfully, no bystanders were injured from the explosion . . . but Guy’s van did experience a bit of damage when a window on his ride was blown out from the bomb.

Oh, and a bit of Guy’s facial hair was singed off.

Guy was in court last week where he plead NOT GUILTY!

Totally kidding . . . dude took a guilty plea to malicious use of an explosive device, and is now looking at a minimum of five years in prison.

HERE is Guy’s mugshot . . . but we can’t find any trace of a singed beard. Can you?
