Location surprisingly has less to do with the possiblity of it happening than one might think. There was a huge scam in Silicon Valley with card readers stuck inside of gas pumps so they were undetectable, that started five years ago. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/02/21/six-arrested-for...

Heh, after your second paragraph I thought, "that sounds like here", then got down to this comment and realized it is (also in Bloomington).
Maybe we should do a HN meetup, Bloomington IN style :)
Or you can come on over to our hackerspace, Bloominglabs. We have open houses every Wednesday from 7-10P, no matter what day that falls on :)
I'm on the -announce list so I get the occasional e-mail but, TBH, there really isn't much that interests me. I haven't been to the place on Rogers but I did visit the previous place (off Curry Pike) several times (I started a class there but "dropped out" after a few weeks due to work/travel).
Perhaps I'll drop by the new place some time, though.
