How much longer before the "antisocial" element in Dublin starts doing this to Luas machines...?

Der Spiegel

In recent months, unidentified perpetrators have been taping shut crevices, seams and openings on ticket dispensers at Deutsche Bahn train platforms around the state of Hesse. They then fill the machines with flammable gas and set off a small explosion to crack them open, before making off with the cash inside.

But the technique doesn't always work... Failed attempts could leave ticket dispensers full of gas and in danger of spontaneous explosions...
