[Steppes] money at gate

[Kevin Black]

I may not be thinking this through, but if we cannot provide an ATM card
(which is understandable), how about a safe?  One with enough heft that a
snatch and grab couldn't carry it off (the average floor safe which you
could pick up for under a couple of hundred bucks would probably suffice).
It would require assisted movement of course (such as a cart) when moving
the cash, but it would be some measure of secured alternative.
