In recent months, there have been a string of break-ins to vending machines at various local business, including those in apartment laundry rooms and hotel snack stations (in hallways or external locations). In these cases, entry into the machines was made or attempted by drilling into the coin receptacles, causing damage to the machine. In addition to lost revenue from the machines, the cost of repairing the damage can be extensive.   Â
