How to catch a thief…of Netflix

How to catch a thief…of Netflix DVDs:

After having to file multiple Netflix movies as “lost in the mail” I began to get suspicious that there was more than just a careless mailman at fault. So what better to do than point a video camera at the mailbox and try to catch a Netflix thief.

of cars:

An internet posse of Canadian gearheads used an online forum, Facebook and Google Maps to take down what might be the world’s dumbest car thief โ€” and posted video of the arrest on YouTube.

of saddles:

A week after dozens of people ransacked an Oregon home in response to a Craigslist ad offering its contents for free, police have arrested a couple for orchestrating the online hoax as part of a bid to cover up an earlier burglary at the property. Brandon and Amber Herbert were nabbed last night for allegedly posting the March 22 Craigslist ad, which claimed that the Jacksonville ranch’s owner had to leave town so suddenly that his belongings โ€” which included a horse โ€” were available for the taking.
