I had a friend that did pretty much that. He was in the vending
machine business and often had large sums of cash at his business over
the weekend. A pair on the phone lines was wired into the alarm
system. This scared off would be burglars a couple of times. There was
no real worries about them getting any money as it was all in a big
walkin safe but in the past they did a lot of damage breaking in the
place.

When I worked in a supermarket years ago, we were instructed to open
all of the register cash drawers at the end of the day -- they were
empty (the tills with cash were locked in the safe), but another store
in the chain had a breakin with thousands of dollars of damage to the
registers before the would-be theives found out they were empty.

My dad ran a bar for 44 years, he always left the cash register open
and a $20 in it. Hoping that if they did break in they would just take
the money and leave without breaking anything. Sure enough one night
two guys broke in took the twenty but instead of leaving they decided
to have a party in the bar. The next morning he found them passed out
on the pool table. They were still asleep when the police woke them
up.


Oh, please. How do two guys get that wasted with only twenty
bucks?





You're joking, right? They broke into a bar, remember? They don't lock
up the bottles when they leave.
