If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM
machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse.
For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321 The
ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you
placed in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you
requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately
dispatched to help you This information was recently broadcasted on
FOX TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know
it exists.

Bull, agree with Garym. check with your bank, they'll fill you in on the truth and then you can post again.

Don't know about the ATM, but I know it does work on my home security system. Nice to know, just in case.
