Post Commander John Sullivan walked NBC 7 through the post and showed where the burglars made off with an ATM machine filled with cash, then loaded it into a car with a getaway driver.Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters. He also said they made off with almost $2,000 of the nonprofits’ money after sawing the lock off the drop box behind the bar.

A lot of money is used to help them pay bills that are unforeseen," Sulivan said. NBC 7 has learned that about an hour before the Alpine VFW was burglarized, thieves broke into the Poway VFW post, but the crew couldn't make off with the bolted-down safes and ATM machine.
