pub shut down, no key story

No but I lost three yesterday Glenn when the guys were out. Usual story, don't know where it went, didn't see it, you guys already lifted it.

I stopped counting a while back as it got depressing. We've had an office and a shop burn down completely in the last few months, 3 stolen from sites and currently have about 6 locked in sites that we cannot get access to.

I AM going to start writing with an ultraviolet pen on all my machines though from now on. And putting a sticker on the base saying "made in taiwan " with my mobile number backwards as a serial number so I can identify mine from now on.

I think most of ours just get stolen for the money and then are thrown away, as we have lost loads over the past few years, but rarely ever see a Vending Revolution machine on eBay.

I had a few machines outside my house the other da and a few pikies knocked on my door and asked if they could have them!!! ffs. Maybe they sell them as scrap? the stands maybe?

I lose a machine a month and it really eats into my profits but it's just part of this business, you have to prepare yourself for an estimated loss of machies per year. You can usually guess acurately aswell

At least the pikies actually ask you for them.
I caught them the other day loading their van with stuff from the side of my house!!

Daz,

they knocked to just see if I was in or not... Fuckers.

I replaced the machines with a 10 year old cheap ikea wardroab which was broken and can you beleive 24 hours later that was gone, **** unbeleivable

A friend of mine said that when he wants to get rid of old furniture that he cannot be bothered to take to the tip, he puts it outside with a 'For Sale £10' sign on it and guaranteed it gets taken by someone. Without a sign it stays forever as people think it's worthless.
