While I don't think scaremongering is needed, I agree that it was a bad idea to just take the skimmer. It does interfere with legitmate police operations and could delay or prevent prosecution of the perpetrators.

I see this as a good thing. Far better to streamline password management than to make it bumpy, encouraging users to use memorable passwords, which most likely will also be painfully weak. It's a good and sane default.
