    Kara was effectively stealing 20% of LRT fares over the 13-year period; one in five coins that were fed into the machines by the paying public ended up in his shaving bag, amounting to around 2 million customer journeys. It seems inconceivable that he wasn’t caught sooner.

    That 20% seems off. Wouldn’t that mean the expected income from that thirteen years would only be 10-15 million?

    Maybe 20% of fares from machines? Or machines in one station? Or maybe most people didn’t use machines?
