       There is a redbox (DVD rental) machine at the Walgreens on Ludlow and Delancy in NYC and it's obviously defunct, but still just sitting there I think people on here were looking for them for some reason so I thought I'd mention it. There is no way the Walgreens people want it there and the way Walgreens are so empty you could probably just cart it off and no one would care if you looked serious enough.

       @futurebird Same near me. It'd be a cool gimmick for someone with a serious home theater if you could hack it.

       @futurebird As I recall, RedBox folded and left their machines littering a lot of storefronts.

       @futurebird I hope this ends with a strange new life for a lonely machine.

       @futurebird You'd be saving them money. It costs them like $500 to dispose of them, apparently.

       @futurebird I think you just need a work vest and a clip board, and you could take almost anything.

       @futurebird Amazing what a hi-viz vest and a hard hat will let you get away with.
