Alert! Add a PadLock for your vending machines!

[Ken]

I try to post in the "Alerts "area but can not post for some reasons.
This is the story,I use Pecsi's pop machines as long as I buy pop from them.Pesci sercive depot has my pop key too,it has no problems for years.
2 men went to my store tonight,open the pop machines with key,took all the money out while my attendant was there,he asked them what are you doing?they said we are fixing your pop machine.My attend called me after they were gone,I went to store,not a penny in machine!
They knew what key to use,they didn't even pick the lock,I think they know someone in Pesci's service depot or they are Pesci servicemen!
Some of my vending machines have 2nd lock,I am going to add padlock in all my vending machines,changers....tomorrow.

I am sure you called the police, but did you also call Pepsi. Chances are the theives are either former Pepsi employees or someone in a third party vending business.. Inform your distributor, they may be able to help the police. Also change the locks now, these people are bold enough to try it again. Sorry to here about your loss.

Pepsi installes really cheap locks on the machines that they loan. Just ask them for a high securty lock. They make vanlock that works great. The cheap locks everybody key works

I put Van locks in my soda machine. I have 2 or 3 locks on everything, but could not fit a lock on this one, so I changed the inner lock. It works well, and is higher security than regular tube lock

I tried a hasp, but it did not fit my model machine.
