Despite the fact that there are more important things going on, I would say that it depends on whether or not you used your pilfered coins to buy the guy who stuffed the machine full of coins a Coke from a different machine. If you bought him Pepsi you are automatically wrong.

You're a horrible horrible person! You should go to jail for this. You should be ashamed. :nono:

It's just a few coins. If the other guy was crying about it then it's his problem. Not your fault you profited from someones incompetence. Corporations do that all the time:)
Basically tell the guy who got all hyper to chill out, basically.
We've all lost money in a vending machine at one time or another. What you actually should ask the guy is if he's the one that put the bad coin in that clogged the machine in the first place, or if he put is one of those trick coins that has a string attached so that HE could pull all of the money back out...
Of course, to be perfectly honest, I haven't put a coin in a vending machine for probably 2 years, and that was only because I was really thirsty and going into a Wal-Mart. I'd rather stop at a C-store and give them $1 for a 32 ounce fountain drink than give a vending machine $1.50 for a 20 ounce bottle.
------------------
Let's throw out another scenario for people - and no, this wasn't hypothetical, it did happen to me.
You're working at a gas station / c-store. You go out into the parking lot to pick up the trash. There's a Crown Royal bag laying in the parking lot. Rather than just pitch it - since you've seen customers come in with money, ID, and other stuff in weirder things - you pick it up and take it back, figuring someone will come looking for it.
Once you're back inside the gas station office, you open up the Crown Royal bag and find money. LOTS of money. All in hundreds, too. 23 of them, to be exact. There's no ID in the bag, but guess what, there's something else in the bag. Three smaller baggies full of some assorted vegetable and/or plant matter, and another baggie with some small black balls in it.
Now, what do you do? Oh, and you're a person that will drink a beer or liquor on occassion, but has never done aything stronger, and you have a military background and a degree in Criminology. So you're almost certainly going to call the police.
Side note - the gas station does NOT have internal security cameras, so your actions have not been recorded in any way.

That would seem like a lot of possible hassle....if its drugs...and the cops dont believe you.
Most cops are actually good at what they do, but every once in a while you get some dork who doesn't understand teh job.
Not that...ya know...i have any previous experience with this.
Most certainly not.
gone four years, first day back: Zoners still getting shot in Theta :|
Actually, it was pretty simple. I called the police and told them that someone had dropped a bag that appeared to have drugs in it in our parking lot. They came and took the bag and drugs.
You'll note that I didn't mention the money to them....
