£33 without putting money in

Hi guys, just seeing if i could get some thoughts about this.

i bought a 18700 refill key from ebay for about £3 and have tried it on 6 machines so far 5 of them showed me the hopper balance (all pretty new machines) yesterday the machine D.N.A was displaying iou £33 and had out of order stickers covering it(does this mean that its going to be chipped) so i put my key in to see what it would display i turned the key and it said 100p x 286, so then i turned the key back without pressing any buttons and to my amazement it just started spitting out coins. Luckily none of the bouncers or doorstaff clocked me but i was seen by a few customers who approached me and asked how i did it. Could anyone tell me why or how this happened ?

Maybe it had being scammed or badly broke thats why it had the out of order stickers on it?

Say you had been caught by the bouncers and the police called and charged etc etc...............

What could you expect in the long term?

A criminal conviction have to pay court costs and fined, worse case senario imprisonment depending on your previous criminal record if any.
£33 seems worth it still?

Sometimes a machine can reset the alarm when reset. Have seen this a few times when the machine thinks its empty...switched on and off and the money will come out. Sounds as if you have reset the machine somehow...
