Yeah, I would have to agree - those credits could have been left there from the other day (since unlike vids, pins remember the credits!). I'm not even sure why anyone would 'put credits on a game and walk away'. What's even the reasoning behind that? That you don't want anyone else playing?
Huh, perfect analogy -
If I put money in three parking meters, and then park in one, the others are free-game (no pun intended) for anyone driving up and claiming it. The other person is not going to ask the other cars, "Hey, did you put this money in?". 
Quoted from fishbone:At least you guys in the US have some form of etiquette.
Here in Germany people seem to think they own a machine as long as they are playing it.
I HAVE seen that here in the US, as well. Maybe not as *common* as over there, but it exists here too.
Quoted from fishbone:Bummer. I wished we'd share the experience of playing pinball a bit more.
I usually offer people waiting in line (or just looking interested) to join in.
The Dutch pinball museum has a policy I'm very fond of. It basically says, after your game is over, take a look over your shoulder. If somebody is waiting, he is next in line to play.
Oh heck yeah. I have a lot more fun playing with/against someone anyways!
