Relevant were the washing machines were placed? Near his house? near a relevant room? assume this; not hugely relevant, though How they were placed (one above the other?) no
Did someone think her had the right to make free washing? (e.g. he faked to be the son of the deceased owner of the laundry?) no Did he fool someone (rather than the washing machine)? no I mean, he did not fool thee system with tools of some sort, but he simply fooled someone that allowed him to do free washings? Made a deal with him? no to these
Or he does not put any dollar/token inside the washing machine? yes! --> does he put something else there? he puts something else inside the machine, yes he does not put any dollar/token inside the washing machine because someone else already put them there for him no (if so, was/were the someone else aware that he used the washing machine with the money they put? Were the money their money?)? n/a Did the machine give change? relevant? irrel Did he always find "in the right place at the right time"? no Or was he sure and guaranteed to always not pay when doing his washing? yes
Is something of this sort going on: basically he exploited someone else to make washings and he paid the equivalent to the someone with another item that for some reason he got for free? no Or again, he put a hat on the street, people thought he was asking money and gave him something. In a week he was able to gain 2 dollars? no, and we're getting further OWT
Is he letting think someone else that he/someone needs money? no
Would his trick have worked with a vending machine (assuming thee same payment method)? I believe so, but it would be easier to trace/detect If not because clothing are relevant to the puzzle? no (to be sure did he go with clothes on to do the laundry right?) Haha! Assume that he did not do the laundry naked
Did he spend them on a device that enables him to do his laundry free? yes --> did he spend them after a certain time that he did the laundry free? After a certain event occurred? no to both Is the device: electric? no technological? yes, but bear in mind 'technology' covers quite a time period a disturbance for something? no an app for the phone? no something that he always bring with him when going to make the laundry? yes something that does not allow someone else to see what he was doing? no
Are camera relevant? no Did he fool the mechanism of inserting coins? i'll say no Did he manipulate it directly? the mechanism? no Is something like a free wash after n washes relevant (and he was able to be always the n-th)? no Did people organze to pay in turns? no Maybe people left some wash paid for poor people? For the next one who came? no to these
