Ticket machine out of action after robbery
3:11pm Sunday 20th July 2008
A TICKET machine at a High Wycombe carpark has been out of action this weekend after it was targeted in a robbery.
Motorists using Easton Street multi-storey have not been able to use the machine on the sixth floor, which stands by the exit to Birdcage Walk.
A board has been put up over it along with a sign, which says: "Due to a robbery this pay station is out of service. To pay with cash please use the pay machines on the ground floor lobby."
And the pay station next to it is also out of action, but this is not described as having anything to do with the robbery.
Drivers paying for their tickets have had to use the only other machines within the carpark on the ground floor.
It is not yet known when the robbery took place.

It is not yet known when the robbery took place.Surely there was CCTV on the machine which will reveal the time of the robbery? Was there not car park attendants patrolling the car park at set times to know when such incidents of crime take place?

This machine was out of action on Monday when I parked for a train trip into Londinium. So it's been at least a week. A real PITA if you want to be sure to get a receipt or pay by cash you have to stop at the ground floor machine.
