    I would be very careful before tampering with the tampered ATM.
    If one of the gang saw you you probably would be eating hospital food now!

    I've never heard of any such reward being offered. I would be astonished, and disappointed, if the police did it, but there's no harm in asking HSBC, just be prepared for the answer to be No.

    The police won't do it. I'd be astonished if a bank did either. Cue an army of people fitting their own (not necessarily viable) devices and "finding" them once word got around!

    They'll just move on to their next target if they know/suspect they've been compromised.

    You could be paid thousands of pounds - if you can offer information relating to cashpoint crime.

    To help combat the rising criminal activity around cash machines LINK, the UK’s cash machine network, is putting up rewards of up to £25,000 for information relating to cash machine crime.

    And the network says even information that may seem insignificant could “prove invaluable in convicting someone involved in cash machine crime”.

    Working with Crimestoppers the reward scheme aims to support the police in their fight against crime and help inform the public about how they can protect themselves.

    LINK is offering the rewards for relevant information and is urging people to call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 with any information relating to such incidents.

    Send HSBC that picture on your MSE profile with a note "It's in your interest to provide me with a reward". Should produce results.
