Firefighters in National City, Calif., attempt to free a 17-year-old teen who got his arm stuck in a vending machine while trying to steal a soda from a Coke Machine, was not so easy. He learned the hard way that crime doesn’t pay after attempting to steal a soda and getting his arm stuck in the vending machine. The teen, whose name was not released, allegedly reached inside the receiving slot of the vending machine near a trolley station, according to NBC San Diego. Then, his arm got caught inside and was stuck until a trolley rider saw him trapped and called the police. The firefighters attempted to free the alleged soda-napper using axes, crowbars and an air chisel, 10News.com reported. Eventually, the rescue crew cut the lock on the machine door with a rotary saw, freeing the teen.
