lost keys in the Yorkshire area!!

Post by Mark@YorVend »

Firstly if anyone is in the Yorkshire area (especially York), I've just lost a full set of keys which has a key for practically every vending tower around. Unfortunately on Wednesday night after one too many after doing my round, I left my vending holdall in the back garden after locking my bike up. The next morning my holdall was still there, but the cash bag (luckily emptied already) and the keys had been nicked out of it.

If anyone has machines in the area, perhaps it would be worth mentioning in your sites that there is someone with a bunch of rogue keys out there!!

Secondly does anyone know if any of the vending firms stock spare keys??
I must have every type of tower ever done... I've got some Clenport, some tubz vending, and some of the old ones snack a can used to supply. I've also got some with plastic cash doors that have a revolving catch rather than a barrel, and a tubz vending supplied Pringle machine that had a key unlike any of the others.

Still got some spares but am gonna struggle to make another full set :(

Unfortunately they had a large fob that says ''Yorvend Ltd - premier vending solutions'' and were in a bag with quite a few pots of Hurley's stock, and machine stickers!! Anyone with half a brain should be able to work out what they open :(

Ouch!

Along with the obvious products, they also have access to this site!

If you use internet for tower vending forum this site comes top of list, like you said anyone with a bit of savvy!

Me thinks I would probably replace every lock with a unique key etc

I use a winter body warmer with zips and make sure keys are safely zipped away.

I'm pretty sure they will have just been taken by a complete muppet, and no one would be stupid enough to let a complete stranger come onto their site and start trying all the keys in the machine.
Having said that I've started warning all my sites about the rogue keys going round, and I'm gonna give Hurley's/tubz vending a call on monday, so they can let their other operators in the area know to be on the look out!

I'm gonna have a look in the warehouse on Tuesday and see what I don't have, I'm pretty sure I have most of them. Might need the ones that are numbered 001,002,003 that open some of the cash boxes and some of the lids, and there was one that came with the Pringle machine I got from tubz vending ages ago as it was different to all the others.

Will post again :)
