Not the type of machine that can wander but... Brazil has some experience with people being nasty to machines. 1. Robotic bank tellers (atm): we had a huge crime wave where people would literally blow them up to steal contents. It got so violent that some places refused to have one nearby, some explosions demolished buildings, and gun battles sometimes happened, one of them even involved people using anti-material sniper rifles and left the surroundings completely demolished and several corpses destroyed in gory ways (like people cut in half by bullets) 2. Only places where you can play arcade games are very secure (like airports), I asked a manufacturer about it, and he said any arcade game in a bar for example invariably get destroyed as people steal its components (chips, cables, etc... people steal the valuable silicon parts for sale, and the metallic ones like cables and connectors to melt down)

The method of choice in my part of the world is to use a JCB (or other brand of digger). Just a cursory search will show examples such as [1] and [2] in England and [3] in Ireland. From [2] (with my apologies for it being the Daily Mail): There have also been a spate of similar robberies elsewhere in the country. In November thieves used a digger to smash through the brick wall of Warner's Budgens in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, before fleeing the scene with the ATM. In the same month, thieves pulled away bricks leaving a gaping hole in the side of a Co-op supermarket in Sapcote, Leicestershire, which took just 20 seconds. Similar to the robbery in York, the digger was left at the scene. Thieves also ploughed a stolen JCB digger in to a Marks & Spencer store before stealing the cash machine at Malvern Retail Park in Worcestershire.
