1) They used prepaid cards so your account wound't have been effected. They did it intentionally so that they wouldn't hit account limits.
2) The vast majority of ATMs have cameras. I would guess (only a guess) that all of the locations they hit had cameras to pull the max amount of cash.
3) If they didn't have cameras in the ATM, they were certainly cameras nearby. Likely the mistake they made was covering their face, but using a vehicle (since they had to hit a lot fast) with a mask on and some other camera got their plates.
But..., your idea of using not just visible light has merit and I hope someone figures out how to implement it.
