Red Bull vending machines good investment?

Vending machines seem kind of scary to me. You get some punk break into one and there's your profit for the month. A friend of mine back in Portland put some money into a little enterprise of Slushie carts during the summers. After some initial struggles he ended up making some cash on this venture. Obviously this involves taking on employees and so on, so it's a bit more involved.

My uncle used to own a bunch of those around Tampa and his $5.25/hr employees were stealing all the profit... go figure.

Your right, vending machines do attract punks. I'd be putting them in rather low risk areas so I hope that could be avoided. But still... that would worry me. The fact that I wouldn't show any profit for at least a year is pretty normal for any new business and certainly the case with this one. But still, I can't find any better place to invest my money other than some lame CD or whatnot.
