LYNN, Mass. (AP) -- Authorities say a Massachusetts woman bought $64 worth of soda using a stolen welfare benefits card, then immediately fed the full cans into the supermarket's automated redemption machine for the nickel deposit.

Tina Cafarelli, of Lynn, pleaded not guilty Monday to charges including larceny, property destruction and receiving stolen property. She was ordered held on $250 bail.

Police tell The Daily Item (http://bit.ly/yvBVmK ) that the electronic benefits card Cafarelli used to buy the 18 12-packs of soda had another person's name on it. The supermarket manager says the full cans caused extensive damage to the redemption machine.

The 36-year-old Cafarelli couldn't be reached for comment.

Wtf? Seriously, this is a totally insane story. What the hell was she going to do with the $10 that she was going to get from the can deposit?

Wow, people are dumb.

She'd have been better off using the $64 on herself.

She probably wanted the cash to buy dope.

Some people honestly don't think and would do anything to get money. She should honestly do something to earn that money damn woman.

I agree she should do something to earn money, but the problem here in America is that there are way to many damn dead beats who would rather sit on their ass and expect some since of entitlement. I miss the "Politcally Incorrect" Days!
