Read on the last night how they are doing it. They have done a few burglaries. Nothing stolen but they have changed the eftpos machines. The old machines can store a lot of information which is extracted. The machine left can transfer information to nearby of all transactions. (little wireless transmitter)
I am now very cautious of these "portable" machines.
They changed keypads on many fast food outlet eftpos machines here in Perth about a month or so ago. Some have been arrested but there was many doing it I think.
Just remember eftpos machines in Bali. They appear to be worse than banks.
