Video camera catches two guys in the act of breaking into Ada Pepsi machine
It's not a video of a deer jumping into Luke's Bar and Grill.
But, it is a pretty interesting video of two guys breaking into a Pepsi machine in a Main Street Ada laundromat.
Early Monday morning the video camera at the Ada laundromat caught two people breaking into the machine. The outside camera also photographed the vehicle.

Here's the official story on the break-in from the Ada Icon:
Ada Police seek the public's help in identifying two people involved in the break-in of the Pepsi machine at the laundromat on Ada’s South Main Street, according to Michael Harnishfeger, police chief.
At approximately 1:30 a.m. on July 5 two white males entered the laundromat. They cut the lock off of the machine and then used keys to open the pop machine.
According to the police, the two were efficient and familiar with the workings of the Pepsi machine. They appeared to have a number of different keys with them.
“Anyone with information should call the Ada Police Department at 419-634-0010. You may remain anonymous,” said Harnishfeger.
Additional information regarding the break-in: Several machines were also broken into in Logan County and specifically downtown Lakeview with very similar tactics.
