havending Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 We have had more stolen machines in the past month than all of last year heck the past two years. Talked to one realitor today for a spot I share with L&J and was told that our machines were busted up for the cash. Luckily my loss has not been two bad because all the ones taken were older ones we had for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandJGroup Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 That's the third rack/sticker machine in three months. If there doing petty crimes like this. It's just a matter of time before Johnny law catches them. Karma is closing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davco1 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I lost a couple of triples in the same location. The second time I had it cabled to a chair. And looking at the recording it's the only thing the sumbitch stole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And looking at the recording it's the only thing the sumbitch stole! The cables can be a great deterrent, but I've had some idiots cut them and take the whole rack. Just part of this biz, but I would love just one time to catch these crooks in the act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Cities Vending Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I've lost several machines because of business closing's since the first of the year. Like you said, I've lost more in the last 30 days than I have in the last 2 years. I'm getting to where I hate to go out because I keep pulling up to empty buildings.

dkochan Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 When I lose equipment it's mainly due to locations going out of business where the owner "forgets" to call me to tell me to pick up my property.

lowcountry Dan Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Gee, I suppose I've had incredibly good luck. I have retrieved most machines from locations that go out of business. I've had 2 stolen and 2 tossed in 4 years from a total of 60. That's pretty a good track record. I think the economy has something to do with thefts. I suppose there is no shortage of criminals either. Money has never been harder to come by, in my opinion. Any machine someone can pick up is vulnerable.
