Thing about lil kids with no respect is that you can tell them not to do something and they may say "Ok" but won't do it.

Yeah, don't leave your coins up there, and if you do and they touch it?? Call em on their crap and snag it back. Growl or.. I dunno.. be mean.
Be nice first though, always be nice.. that way no one can ever say you didn't try and be civil.

If all else fails, then be a jerk and cut in front of them.

If people keep taking your quarter, put a card up and watch it. If they take it, pick them up by the throat and punch them in the gut until they vomit blood.
Or ask them to give it back, put it back in its place, and slap them it they do it again. Your call.

Apply the Vulcan Neck Pinch.

Or, my personal favorite, the Electro Quarter. When picked up, the quarter will deliver a mild electric shock to anyone who attempts to lift it without the use of a special glove owned only by you.

Cmon, this poor dude got railed and everyone is suggesting he beats them down, or some other superhuman feat. There were 5 of them. He was outnumbered, if not also outsized. How about some real suggestions?

For starters, don't use coins anymore. Like someone else said, use a card, bottle cap, canadian coin, etc... something not valuable. This might be risky, but if you use something like a driver's license or state ID (which you can get if you dont have a drivers license) and they steal that, you can get them in much bigger trouble.

And of course, complain to arcade management. You deserve a turn like everyone else. Management will usually step in if asked. No shame in that either. You're outnumbered.

Dude, they weren't being just rude. They were stealing your money. Don't take that crap.

Even though you may never run into those kids again, it IS a good idea to come up with another form of a placeholder. Initial D cards, school IDs, I've even seen a subway card once. Just go with something other than coins.

this is what your do. place both hands on bar thats behind them. then you swing through the bars while holding on with your feet first. after the bl00d is cleaned off the screen go ahead and sweep their body off the padd.
