This seems similar to an employer looking for any tiny reason to fire a shitty employee.

"Jersey City mom turns in 36-year-old son for having parking meter in his closet, cops say Gaughran, 36, of Jersey City, was arrested Saturday for allegedly stealing a city parking meter, which he never could open to remove the coins. A 36-year-old Jersey City Heights man was arrested and charged with receiving stolen property after his mother found a parking meter stashed in his bedroom closet yesterday, police said. Thomas Gaughran, 36, of Beach Street near Liberty Avenue was arrested and charged with receiving stolen property after police responded to his home on a domestic violence call but found a parking meter at 7 p.m., officials said."

I knew a guy whose Mom turned him in for cheating after she found a copy of a test by the computer.

I thought that was harsh, but I agree with this lady's decision.

"Mom, why are you going through my closet."

"Because you're 36 and live at home."

He could never open to remove the coins? Has he ever heard of a hammer?

Thats about my limit

^^ For real.

He doesn't strike me as the type to give up easily.

^^^I'm pretty sure they're quite resistant to hammers (well at least according to tv shows and movies )

a week is nothing...most people are home longer than that over Christmas

6 weeks...you start to get a sense of permanence, and its scary as FUCK

Well even if a hammer doesn't work... try a crowbar or something. If you are gonna go to the trouble of stealing a parking meter for the coins inside (which I honestly can't imagine amounts to anything more than like $10), is it really that difficult to get it open with some basic tools?
