There was a hackerspace that offered free memberships to people. Some people took them as intended, as introductions, and as a hook. (The first taste is always free!!!) ;)
Some people, who with no money involved, were not invested, took it the wrong way, and did physical damage to the space. It didn't start off that way, but as with many entrepreneurs, they trusted the community, and thought most people in the community were like them, devoted to furthering said community. Unfortunately, sometimes trust is misplaced. So once these malicious jack-wagons got away with a little mess, then a bigger, mess, then an unscheduled party, then they trashed the place. Look, I'm not saying don't do it. Just don't give them 24/7 access till they're known and they've started paying.
