Austin police in Texas are asking residents to call 311 if they get robbed near an ATM as the department struggles amid an increase in urban crime and staffing shortages.

The Austin Police Department posted a graphic in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, to urge residents to call 311 or make an online report if they're robbed – 311 is a number usually used for non-emergency requests, as opposed to 911.

"Even if you are cautious & follow all the safety advice, you may still become the unfortunate victim of a robbery," the Austin Police Department wrote on X. "Do you know what your next steps should be?"

"Make a police report & provide as much information as possible so we can recover your property quickly and safely," the post added. The graphic included advice to mention the bank in the 311 report and include the date and time of the cash withdrawal.

Weird. Those guys haven’t released an album in a while so I guess they were available.

Sounds like Austin is desperately trying to be San Francisco.

What’s so funny about the picture. Goofy looking white dudes always rob light skinned black guys finishing up their ATM transactions.

Did you get robbed on your way back from a bank or ATM?


It’s Texas depending on your level of soy intake… either buy a gun or call it an “unplanned donation”. Calling Austin PD is a waste of time and energy.

Our resident "moderates" will be here shortly to tell us this article isn't saying what we assumed it's saying and that Austin's crime rate is actually very low.
