Quoted from Msch:What is this pawn shops name and number? have you explained how Yelp! works and that there are auto dialing programs?
I'm sure if they get enough calls inquiring about stolen pinball machines, they will quickly see the futility of their ways 
Quoted from MrBally:I remember in the early-mid '80's when the new generation of radar detectors came out: Escort for $245.00 and Passport for $295.00 and they were getting stolen like crazy. Then some who were fed up were filling the shells with a certain powder and wiring a model rocket engine to the power connector. Gave new meaning to the term "one arm bandit".
Illegal as hell and the person setting the booby trap is prosecuted in the US more than the thief. Something is wrong with this picture......
Sounds like a great idea if you could trust a thief to test the goods before pawning.....
