Abstract
A method and apparatus for theft prevention and/or recovery of stolen drink dispensers generally comprises the provision of an anti-theft device within a drink dispenser machine for detecting illegitimate movements of the machine and thereafter disabling the machine's operation. The disruption of operation is accompanied by an indication on the machine's display panel alerting the possessor of a general failure and requesting the placement of a maintenance service call. Concurrently, an innocuous indicator is also activated for alerting the responding service technician to the possibility that the dispenser machine under repair is stolen.
