Quoted from jasonp:People only steal things with value and everyone knows pinball is dead!!!!
Lugging around a 300-400lb item the size of a casket does not make for a quick getaway.
Off-site storage or remote/isolated homes are probably higher-risk since thieves know nobody is likely to be around for long periods of time.
Quoted from Luppin:I dont understand: what is this second power switch used for?
A hidden secondary power switch, in addition to the primary power switch.
If the hidden switch is off, the game won't turn on no matter what you do with the primary power switch.
I suppose it might help prevent theft or resale if the game doesn't appear to turn on at all.
Heh, I just had a funny idea....
There's a dollar store in my area that has tall metal poles attached to all the grocery carts in the store, so you can't wheel them outside (the pole bangs against the top of the door way).
Maybe install something like that on a game in a high-risk location?
Granted, it would probably be fairly trivial to remove or cut off the pole anyway.
