Backyard gas thief nabbed after camera-backed revenge

A homeowner’s webcam captured a neighbor siphoning gas from the backyard. In a two-part payback, he allegedly tainted the full gas can with urine and staged a trip away, while later using the neighbor’s personal details to apply for a sheriff’s ride-along, which uncovered outstanding warrants and led to the neighbor’s arrest. The tale, shared on Reddit’s r/ProRevenge, is noted to raise legal questions about vigilante tricks and is not a how-to for others to imitate.

Dark Catalina Foothills complicates Nancy Guthrie abduction search

In the rural, dark Catalina Foothills, investigators struggle to obtain usable video leads in Nancy Guthrie’s Jan. 31 abduction. Guthrie’s own doorbell camera didn’t record due to no subscription, a motion clip wasn’t saved, and authorities are canvassing residents for footage. DNA from blood on the porch confirms her identity; a ransom note prompted a $50,000 reward as the FBI and local investigators pursue any potential clues amid a challenging, light-poor environment.
