Outright thievery

http://www.wheelnanddealin.com/Bird_thieves.htm

Bill owns a company that Manufactures and installs car wash systems.
Bill's company installed a car wash system in Frederick, Md. These are
complete systems including the money changer and money taking
machines.

The problem started when a new owner complained to Bill that he was
losing significant amounts of money from his coin machines each week.

One would go up inside the machine to "jimmy coins loose" then a second bird would carry them off. Other starlings saw the first two do it and imitated them!
