I parked in front of several identical unusual parking meters in Kansas City yesterday. If a person were so inclined, he or she could simply reach into the open bottom half of the meter, grab a few coins that were already there, then put them into the top of the meter, watching them drop to the bottom again. If one were so inclined, one could completely fill the meter with time by doing this over and over. The fact that the bottom contains more than a few quarters speaks to the honesty of people from Kansas City.
