'Being security paranoid, I repeated my typical habit of checking the card reader with my hand as I have 100s of times... today's the day when my security awareness paid off'. 

'In addition to the magnetic strip reader, it has a battery (the large silver object on the right) some sort of switch (the small silver object in the middle with the small black tab sticking out of it) and of course the control board with the 4 pin connector (the large green board to the left).' 

He added: 'I have since notified the Vienna Police Department regarding this discovery'.
