Boy allegedly puts ‘Out of Order’ sign on Downtown East vending machine, owner says sales possibly affected
A police report has been lodged.
A boy allegedly affixed an "Out of Order" sign to a vending machine at E!Hub in Downtown East, potentially impacting sales from the machine, according to the business owner. CCTV footage from Instagram revealed the incident, which occurred around 9pm on August 8. POM, a business selling press-on nails, lashes, and jewelry, reported the event, noting another individual was present.
They expressed concern that the incident might have occurred deliberately and could recur or escalate into further damage. The business discovered the sign three days later and informed mall management, who confirmed the incident via CCTV footage. Despite the uncertainty about the exact financial impact, POM emphasized the potential consequences of seemingly harmless pranks on small businesses, especially during challenging market conditions. They hoped sharing the story would raise awareness about the gravity of such actions.
