I know a guy who lived without a home in New York City recently.

There are municipal sidewalk kiosks ("LinkNYC") that, among other things, provide USB charging ports.

A restaurant owner or staffer noticed him using the charging port on the kiosk near their restaurant several times, and in response, took a screwdriver to it to ruin it.
