Theft Involving Arcade Machines
Question
I am at a hotel now and am about to leave. The hotel has an arcade game room, meaning machines into which tokens are inserted in order to play. One of them had a kind of claw game, where you have to use the claw to take out a prize, and I banged on the machine and thereby got a prize. I do not know to whom I should return it. Is it enough for me to buy tokens for a price approximately equal to the value of this item and simply insert them into one of the game machines?
Answer
The solution is good, provided that others will not be able to play using those tokens.
