This might help you prevent your rather 33 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: expensive car or truck or suv from being ripped off. 34 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: Till today, we heard from one family who had their 35 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: truck stool and last Friday. They didn't want to talk 36 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 3: on camera, but they provided surveillance video that shows how 37 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 3: people are stealing high end truck cars and trucks here 38 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 3: in Anaheim Hills. Surveillance video shows someone breaking into this 39 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: truck and stealing it in a matter of seconds. But 40 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 3: it's how they pulled it off that has people in 41 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 3: Anaheim Hills talking. 42 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 4: It's very bad. 43 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 2: I mean, it's really toughing. 44 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 5: It is pretty frightening to think that someone could get 45 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 5: into somebody's vehicle that quickly. 46 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 6: You're seeing cruise of three to four. 47 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 3: Anaheim Police Detective Heather Skaglioni says people are using new 48 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 3: technology to steal high end cars and trucks. In this case, 49 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 3: they stole a truck with help from a tablet made 50 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 3: for locksmith's. 51 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: Watch again, so. 52 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 6: You see him walk up to the car. First he 53 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 6: knows he actually checks the handle, checks the handle, first, 54 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 6: sees the car's locked, heads over to the back window, 55 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 6: and he uses a window punch to break it. Once 56 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 6: it happens, because there's tent on the windows, the window 57 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 6: stays intact and he's able to peel it off. 58 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 7: And climb it. 59 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 6: And then he's being handed a like a locksmith tool, 60 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 6: a computer device uplugs into the computer system in the 61 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 6: car so you can quickly reprogram it and turn the 62 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 6: car on so we can leave with that truck. 63 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: Anah, I'm police say. The other way people are stealing 64 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 3: cars and trucks involves the use of an antenna while 65 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: standing in a doorway. Sergent Matt Sutter says they are 66 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 3: targeting newer cars and trucks with keyless entry keyfobs. 67 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 8: That keyfob is constantly sending out a signal so that 68 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 8: when you walk up to the car, it just opens right. 69 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: Up for you. 70 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 8: They hold an antenna up near the house trying to 71 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 8: pick up the signal from your keyfob that's inside your house. 72 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: You know that happened to us a couple of years ago. 73 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: We caught it on video where a white van came 74 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: down our alley and as the white van slowly drove 75 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: by our house, both of our garage doors opened up. 76 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: So they were surveilling the house and found the exact 77 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: frequency that they needed to open a bar garage. And 78 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: it's pretty alarming that somebody could do that. And so 79 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: now you have to make sure that you change the frequency, 80 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: which is the pain of the ass. And then you 81 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: got to lock the door to the garage and make 82 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: sure that's double locked. It's got to try to keep 83 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: people your whole life. You have to keep people out 84 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: of your house and from taking your stuff. 85 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 8: Once they pick up that signal, they send it to 86 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 8: somebody standing by the car, opens the car right up, 87 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 8: gets in, push the star button, and off they go. 88 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 8: What can people do to protect themselves? 89 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 2: Nothing. There's a few things they can do. 90 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 8: One is to turn off the key fob feature that 91 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 8: allows you promote access. 92 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 4: To your car. 93 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 6: There's another thing called like a far day bag that 94 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,239 Speaker 6: you can put your keyfub into. That block sets signal 95 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 6: from going out the purchaser. You can make out of 96 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:47,679 Speaker 6: like aluminum foil. 97 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: Why do we have to do all that work? 98 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: Why is it always up to the owner of the 99 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: car to do all the extra leg work and buy 100 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: the expensive equipment to prevent their car from being ripped off? 101 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: It's always up to the guys and gals who are 102 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: playing by the rules. We always have to do more work. 103 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 3: I have, like a luminum foil. 104 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 8: The other is to maybe destore your keys a different 105 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 8: place in the house. Some people like to hate their 106 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 8: keys next to the front door. Maybe you hide it 107 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 8: or put it somewhere further deep in the house so 108 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 8: they can't easily pick up the signal with that intel. 109 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: My god, God, I. 110 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: Did ask if these cases are connected. Anaheim Police said 111 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: it is too early to tell, but they are saying 112 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 3: that this is a trend. No arrests have been made 113 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 3: and if you have video that may help investigators. Just recently, 114 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: Anaheim PD launched a program where homeowners can easily share 115 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 3: surveillance video with police to help them find the people responsible. 116 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: All you have to do is. 117 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 3: Go to connect Anaheim dot org. 118 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 2: There you go. All right. 119 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,119 Speaker 1: The Francis Scott Key Bridge, the one that went down 120 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: in Baltimore. It's going to cost five billion dollars to 121 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: fix that bridge, to replace that bridge, five billion dollars 122 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: when a ship hit it and the one and this 123 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: whole thing was caused by one tiny loose wire, one 124 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: loose wire on that ship and people died and the 125 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: bridge went down. It's not going to be done until 126 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: twenty thirty, so we have another five years in repairing 127 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: that bridge and five billion dollars. 128 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 9: It was a disaster. The NTSB says shouldn't have happened. 129 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 4: The whole bridge has fell out. 130 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 9: Federal investigators now revealing a loose wire was the root 131 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 9: cause of the deadly twenty twenty four collision of the 132 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 9: cargo ship Dolly into the Key Bridge in Baltimore. 133 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 2: This tragedy should have never occurred. 134 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 7: Lives should have never been longed. 135 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 2: That's right, As with all accidents that we investigate. 136 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 7: This was preventable. 137 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: That's exactly right. This should have never happened. One loose 138 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: wire took out that bridge and killed those people. 139 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 9: The National Transportation Safety Boards investigation showing one of thousands 140 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 9: of signal wires inside a breaker wasn't firmly in place, 141 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 9: likely since the DOLLI was built. 142 00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 10: Wow. 143 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 9: When the wire slipped out out, it knocked out power, 144 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 9: including propulsion and steering. The ship's operator tells NBC News 145 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 9: in part these matters will be reviewed in detail with 146 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 9: our technical teams. The vessel owner and council. 147 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 4: Holdall traffic on the key bridge. There's a ship approaching 148 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 4: has just lost their steering. 149 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 9: The ship slammed into the bridge where seven men were working. 150 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 9: Six of them died after falling into the river. The 151 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 9: investigation revealing they were never alerted to the emergency on 152 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 9: the water and if the workers had been notified, they 153 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 9: would have had over a minute to evacuate before the 154 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 9: bridge collapsed. 155 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: Oh that's horrible, But how about the guy that went 156 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: in there and figured this out? You know, of all 157 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: the wiring, there must be hundreds of miles of wiring 158 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: on each one of these ships, and he found one 159 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: tiny loose wire that caused everything. 160 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 9: The loan survivor and the families of the men who 161 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 9: died had filed a civil suit against the DOLLY, some 162 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 9: of them at Tuesday's meeting with their lawyers. 163 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 5: It's been painful for the entire country to see this 164 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 5: happen and no one held accountable. So hopefully accountability as finalized. 165 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 5: That family's just here for justice. 166 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't hold your breath. There's nobody held accountable 167 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: for anything in this country. 168 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 9: The NTSB also making eighteen safety recommendations to prevent another 169 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 9: deadly catastrophe, including using motorist warning systems and creating protocols 170 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 9: to alert bridge workers in an emergency. 171 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: In order to see safety change, we need our recommendations implemented. 172 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 11: We have a really big voice and we're not afraid 173 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 11: to use it. 174 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 4: Yeah. 175 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: It's a big, bad deal, man, bad bad deal.

So when 301 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 12: shopping carts were introduced in the late thirties, no one 302 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 12: would touch him. So men didn't want to use them 303 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 12: because they thought that they would look weak and feminine, 304 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 12: and women were tired of pushing baby carriages, so no 305 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 12: one would touch shopping carts. Like people just preferred baskets 306 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 12: and there was now something to like beat you over 307 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 12: the head just to get the last shopping cart. 308 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 4: But if you read the book, you see. 309 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 12: Like how they got past that, how the inventor got 310 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 12: past that that dilemma, so that they people started to 311 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 12: want shopping carts. So there's there's that. There's a great 312 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 12: one on kale. So kale back in the day before 313 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 12: it was a superfood, nobody ate kale, and Pizza Hut 314 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 12: was the largest purchaser of kale in the US back 315 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 12: in twenty twelve.
