According
to a Police Chief named Ron Tischer, a car thief was caught after she
ran out of luck— or battery, precisely. Kathy Sain was pursued by
cops after she stole an electric Tesla from a shopping center parking
lot in Payson, Arizona. The thief evaded spike strips but the stolen
car came to a halt after it ran out of power. There is a Tesla
charging station in the shopping center, but it is unclear if the
vehicle was being charged when it was stolen by Sain. “Spike strips
were ineffective but the vehicle ran out of electricity on East
Highway 260,” Tischer was quoted as saying. “The suspect refused
to exit the car and troopers and deputies were forced to break a
window to get the suspect out.” Sain was arrested on several
charges including theft, fleeing pursuing law enforcement vehicles,
criminal damage, and aggravated driving under the influence.

If you’re looking for a seriously steep cliff, you’ll find it on Canada’s Baffin Island in Auyuittuq National Park in the northern part of the country. Named Mount Thor, it has a 4,000-foot rock face that has proved daunting for climbers, with 30 attempts made before a four-man team from America finally succeeded in 1985 (it only took them 33 days).

Texas
cops are hunting a woman dubbed “The Wedding Crasher” after she
allegedly stole thousands of dollars in gifts from at least a
half-dozen newlywed couples.
According
to the Comal County Sheriff’s Office, the avowed thief executes the
stunt by dressing as a wedding guest and sneaking into the reception
where she snatches up envelopes full of cash, checks, and gift cards.
Authorities first became aware of the matrimonial mugger when she hit
up nuptials in Spring Branch last November. Since then, she’s
struck at least five more times, mostly at the same venue.
Investigators
said they’ve obtained surveillance footage from several shops
showing the sacrilegious swiper using the allegedly stolen gift
cards. Cops are still working to count up the losses, but they
estimate the total is in the thousands of
dollars.(https://bit.ly/2Z75fEF)

According
to a Pennsylvania court filing, a suspect who used a stolen debit
card to purchase a cell phone, beer, and cigarettes signed the sales
receipts as “Thief.” Police report that the male suspect swiped
the card from a woman who gave him a ride home from a bar last week.
The debit card was inside a purse in the center console of the
woman’s vehicle. The victim, Joei Thompson, noticed the purse was
missing the following day and filed a report with police in Butler, a
Pittsburgh suburb. But Thompson’s debit card had already been used
to purchase a $200 iPhone 6S at a MetroPCS store and a case of beer
and pack of cigarettes from Butler Beer and Tobacco. When cops
examined the sales receipts for the two transactions, they discovered
that the purchaser signed his name as “Thief.” Police eventually
charged 36-year-old Ewari Ellis with stealing the victim’s debit
card. (https://bit.ly/2TBNyrF)
