Cuál es la difencia entre El cajero automatico ha comido mi tarjeta y El cajero automatic se ha comido mi tarjeta. ¿Por qué tiene que usar se en la segunda oracion?

Both work. Comerse has the distinction of meaning to eat it all up, ie consume. Thus the sentence with se has a stronger sentiment than just "the machine ate my card". Plus there is the use of se in Spanish to put the blame on something inanimate.
