I think they usually give up when they realize the poor access and lack of actual money. Rarely is there more than $30 in each machine so big whoop... it is the repair that gets me and loss of use (inconvenience) for my tenants.
I believe I had one tenant that actually picked the service lock and was using the washer for free for his commercial detailing business. Ya get all kinds at some point on this journey.
Sad how bad some people are in this country,,vending machine at the local Superstore got carved open few times,so they got rid of it..
went to Japan last month for a visit and the honesty of locals is simply mind blowing,,with milions of vending machines loaded with booze and smokes no one breaks in and they all work too..
