A man in Eureka, California, was caught on surveillance cameras stealing coins from a soda vending machine. Apparently thirsty after stealing all the cold, hard cash, the man put some of the change back into the machine to get a drink. The soda machine malfunctioned and didn’t dispense his soda. Outraged at the machine and how it had “eaten his money,” the thief, still on tape, mind you, wrote a note on the machine with his name and phone number and the amount of money the machine owed him. I wonder if during his arraignment he paid his bond entirely in quarters.
