Never Underestimate The Creativity Of A Crook

USA Today had a story yesterday about this inventive criminal:
Police in Lynn, Mass., arrested a woman at a convenience store who allegedly used a stolen welfare benefits card to purchase $64 worth of soda, then immediately fed the full cans into an automated redemption machine to collect the nickel deposit on each can, The Daily Item reports.
Apparently 18 twelve packs of full soda cans were too much for the machine which was damaged in this episode.
