The vending machine company has not been keeping up.

I remember seeing a show on vending machines a few years ago (may have been HOW ITS MADE) where one operation was have a blade to cut any string being used

"I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves."

I agree. May I suggest we start at the top and work our way down?

[fruser1]

First thing I’d check are the employees of the companies that provide/maintain the machines.

[gopno1]

We need an all out ban on laminating machines and fishing line.

[kjam22]

Or on car washes.

So why doesn’t the second camera get the plate?

Dang it! That facial recognition software is really good.
It even took all my facial hair off! :-{)>

I said to myself, this guy is smart but how come he’s still living in a tent in the street?

Smart and fully functional are not always synonymous.

“May I suggest we start at the top and work our way down?”

You mean we start in DC then Virginia etc etc ??

[Fightin Whitey]

You know how I've always felt about that beard!

[TigersEye]

Indeed over the years knackers or travelers have stolen tens of thousands stringing my machines

One was caught in a shootout years ago at one of my spots and opened fire on my Vietnam vet pal who confronted him

Cost the stringer his life

He misjudged the Wild Bill Hickock nerve of my buddy who didn’t flinch and took aim with bullets flying by pell mell and dropped him in soon to be large pool of his own blood

Washing that blood pool down the self serve bay drain was needless to say macabre

And guess what

No one claimed the body and never identified

A knacker no doubt

Western North Carolina and Tri cities TN and Arkansas as well have these caravan white gypsies

Used to be a community near Dickson TN but they got run off

Cops have gone to their parks and found a row of coin changers on shelves with little kids being trained to string the machines and confiscated in one case near Johnson City over 300,000 in quarters

That’s 3/4 tonne of quarters

We used to do the 5 dollar bill tied to fishing line trick in the cafeteria in middle school.

Drop it and wait for a teacher to try and pick it up, then yank the string .

Hysterical!
