Not that i would ever condone such irresponsible behaviour.

I seem to recall that BT had this problem with some of their payphones
back in the 1980s.

There was a particular type of pay phone that had a plastic flap that
could be jammed up to trap any returned money. BT altered the design
of some of the flaps on the pay phones.
