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.

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)
