Mechanic’s thefts drain city machines for months
Charles Heiser used a self made device to open coin boxes and steal about 160000 quarters from laundry machines over 16 months. Police say the scheme harmed apartment managers and forced washing machine firms to spend around 30000 dollars on new equipment. Heiser faces up to 15 years in Chino Prison. Judge Coleman called the case one of the years most amazing. Heiser told investigators he planned leniency but would not reveal how the device works. He warned that accomplice James R. Searberry also poached profits before losing the money. Bloomfield, operator of a coin box firm, said the secret caused him ulcers and he hopes it stays secret.
