> The two workers got caught after Buffalo parking commissioner Kevin Helfer noticed that the digital pay stations the city uses were making more money than the old quarter-fed machines, according to court documents. An investigation was launched and video surveillance footage showed that Bagarozzo was stealing from the old meters on a daily basis. > > After being questioned by the FBI, Bagarozzo admitted to the thefts, which constitute a federal crime, and was arrested in December of 2011. A search of his home turned up $40,000 in cash stashed in his bedroom ceiling. > > **Since Bagarozzo and Charles were arrested, yearly parking meter revenue in the city has increased by $500,000.** > **[Parking Meter Mechanic Sentenced for Stealing $210,000 in Quarters | TIME.com](https://newsfeed.time.com/2013/08/19/buffalo-parking-meter-mechanic-sentenced-for-stealing-210000-in-quarters/)** > > The city employee would roll the coins on his lunch break and stash them in his bedroom ceiling That’s a good chunk of change!
