Quoted from LTG:Hopefully.
Locally years ago a player went to a location. Talked to them. Found out who the operator was. And played the games and made of list of things not working. Let the location and operator know the day and time they'd be there, gave them plenty of warning.
The players showed up at the designated time ready to play. And the pins were gone.

I gotta admit I laughed at this. Sucks for them, but LOL @ the op that goes "More money? Screw that. *YOINK*" over just leaving them in place as they were and hoping they got used anyways. Maybe it was the end of a contractual thing or something.
