Bad idea! This is when the police may belatedly show up in all their glory and detain you with the device in your possession, and you'll have a hard time explaining that you're not part of a skimming gang. The other possibility is that the skimmers may be watching and once they see you're taking their device, they may decide to recover it, beat you up, or even call the police on you claiming that you're the criminal. If you see something like this, the best course of action is to leave it alone and discreetly report it to the police.
