Credit card thieves might want to think twice before trying to pay with a stolen card at a c-store. A man in Alberta, Canada, attempted to pay for an (already-opened) can of Red Bull with a stolen credit card as a police officer waited in line behind him. Police had already been called to the area for a report of a suspicious person, and the responding officer followed the suspect into the store. Once the card was attempted, the machine printed a message indicating the card was stolen and to call the police. Not a hard task in this instance! The clerk showed the officer the slip, who promptly handcuffed the perpetrator and led him out of the store.

Honesty Is the Best Policy

A wise person once said, “Character is what you are when no one is watching,” and one woman in Fort Wayne, Indiana, embodied that quote when she found $3,000 in cash at a local gas station. Instead of pocketing the money, she immediately called the police, who were able to return the cash to its owner, “who was so happy to have the money back.” There are still good people in this world.

A Different Kind of Delivery

One mom is lucky that she gave birth exactly where she did—in a convenience store parking lot. A woman went into labor in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven store in Strasburg, Virginia, and two store patrons jumped in to assist her because the local police and emergency services departments were responding to a severe motor vehicle crash call received “a matter of seconds” before the woman-in-labor call. After the delivery, the store owner rushed to gather blankets to keep the baby warm, and at one point, the baby’s airway needed to be cleared. The woman who assisted with the birth happened to have an infant nasal-suction device. Because of this “learning experience,” local police plan to have medical supply kits in each police vehicle specifically equipped for delivering babies.
