For those thieves to even attempt to steal bitcoin from a bitcoin ATM in the first place, I think they lack even the most fundamental understanding of cryptocurrency. People with a basic understanding of crypto wouldn't take such action because they would realize that bitcoin is a digital currency and that even if they were to steal it from a bitcoin ATM, the stolen bitcoin could be tracked and its transactions monitored.

That would be probably funny asking ATM to surrender on what command. Like bitcoin is physical cash no longer digital currency we all know again.
