While
paramedics were on a call, a Texas man jumped into an ambulance and
drove the vehicle, with its lights flashing, to a Jack in the Box,
where he ordered food at the drive-through lane. According to Houston
police, 36-year-old Renaldo Leonard was charged with felony theft in
connection with the ambulance heist. Cops noted that the stolen
vehicle--valued in excess of $150,000--was tracked to a Jack in the
Box, where Leonard “was at the drive-up ordering food with
emergency lights.” The restaurant is more than four miles from
where the Houston Fire Department ambulance was stolen. Leonard is
behind bars at the Harris County jail. In light of Leonard’s prior
criminal record, prosecutors have asked a judge to deny him bail.
According to court records, Leonard’s rap sheet includes separate
felony convictions for PCP possession, robbery, and cocaine
possession. (https://bit.ly/2LQhxgf)

Ask anyone what the grossest spots in their home are and they’ll likely answer with one of the following: the toilet, the dish sponge, or the grimy stovetop. But according to a new study, your appliance handles could be even more disgusting. Researchers studied the amount of bacteria on 14 common sites in your home and found that the kitchen was the most contaminated spot. And appliance handles — like that of your oven door — were some of the worst offenders.

Nostalgia,
and the need to unload an old sedan, sent Adam Sidoti on the hunt for
the newly released Ford Bronco Sport. “It is just a unique look,
and I fell in love with it when they released it,” Sidoti said. But
the day after he purchased the 2021 SUV, Sidoti said the dealership
started calling and demanding he return it to the showroom. “They
wanted me to bring it in by 3:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve!” he said.
Sidoti’s contract showed he traded in his vehicle, put nearly
$2,500 down, and obtained financing before driving off the lot
December 22nd. Sidoti said he spoke to the sales manager and even
wrote a letter to customer service. The dealer admitted they had
accidentally sold him a demo or mannequin model that was supposed to
sit on display. Luckily for him, Ford released a statement in an
email: “After speaking with our team, as soon as we were made aware
of this situation on December 29th, 2020, we made sure the customer
is able to keep the vehicle.” (https://bit.ly/3camc7m)

A Las Vegas man allegedly stole about $2 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds meant for small businesses — all so he could buy luxury cars and homes. Jorge Abramovs has been charged with bank fraud after allegedly applying for Paycheck Protection Program funds between April and June 2020. Prosecutors charged that Abramovs used a variety of company names, including “National Investment Group Corporation,” “National Legal Advisors In Care Of,” and “National Investment Group” when applying for the aid. In one application, Abramovs claimed NIGC had eighteen employees and an average monthly payroll of $64,797. According to a federal criminal complaint obtained by the outlet, another application claimed NIGC had forty-nine employees with a payroll of $55,235. The complaint states in total, Abramovs allegedly got away with $1,986,737.46 in fraudulent PPP loans. He allegedly used those funds to purchase a 2020 Bentley Continental GT Convertible for $260,982, a 2020 Tesla, and two luxury condominiums in Las Vegas ranging in price from $225,000 to $415,000.
