    break a public pay phone

    At the zenith of that technology, the phone company(ies) had already battle tested countless other designs. The newest relics you find are hardened enough to be left unattended in the most vandalism prone areas imaginable. Each one, a little fortress perfectly protecting delicate electronics and a coin-box. Slam it all you want: they’re nigh-on indestructible.
