The thieves got me early Monday morning. They used a torch to cut a 2? X 2' hole in my steel back door and then cut the phone line where it connected to the alarm system. They then proceeded to cut the locked corners off my Hamilton RNS changers giving them access to the validators. No coins were stolen because I use the changers to dispense $1 tokens?all this work for less than $300.

I have since modified my alarm system to include a motion sensor and a wireless backup for the telephone line.

Live and learn.

They sure went through a lot of trouble to get in. Probably spent more money on the tools to break in than what they got off with.

Yep on the video. They parked their unmarked van sideways between the camera and the back door. All I got was the top of their heads above the van and a look at the front (Chevy) as it left via the back entrance. The rear pictures were at an angle that made reading the license plate impossible. Worthless!
