Hello,
I have about 10 counter top snack machines that have been working great for me until recently. Within the last few weeks some of my locations have mastered the art of shacking the machine and turning it upside down to get free candy. I was just wondering if there is anyone out there with a simple solution.

Hope to hear from you.

Maybe you can drill a hole in the machines and tie it down with a chain or something to hold it in place that only you would be able to open. Or tie it to a pole or another item that can't be moved.

Not sure if this will help but we had a few microwaves stolen once from a hotel so we attached it to the table it was sitting on. Since the microwave had legs on it that you could screw off we just drilled 4 holes in the table and used some washers and longer screws and mounted the ovens from underneath the table. If they wanted the ovens then they would have to take the table too. We never had another oven stolen. If you could do something like this to your machine then I think your problem will be solved.
