FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL


THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

A FEW SHOWERS FOR FRIDAY

Rise and shine Southwest Florida.

It looks like another glorious day is on tap, but don't leave home without the umbrella. You'll need it at times!

There's a cold front pushing into north Florida, and it's forcing a lot moisture into the state out ahead of it. You noticed it yesterday in the way of clouds, humidity, and the stray downpours.

Friday will be very similar. We'll have coastal showers passing through as you head out the door, and those will be progessing east of I-75 as we push into the lunch time hour.

Make sure the kids can find a way to stay dry as they head to school!

This afternoon - expect a few stray showers to be hanging around, too.

Tonight the cold front will be fading away, and that's good news for us!

Why?

Some dry nice air is coming in behind it. I mean. Really. Nice. Air. The humidity will be low, and we're going to see overnight temperatures drop to the lower 60s by Sunday!

With the drier air in place we'll see partly sunny skies for Saturday with a slight chance of a late day shower. Sunday, we really see the effects. The skies will be sunny, the humidity low, and not a drop of rain.

That will continue until midweek. Around the Wednesday to Thursday time frame we'll see our winds start coming from the east. That'll replace our dry air with the muggy uncomfortable air.

Highs will be in the mid 80s, and lows will tumble into the lower 60s after Saturday.

Tropical mischief? Nope, not a thing right now. Return to index of stories...

RYAN OWNENS SHOWS US. Return to index of stories...


STOLEN 3RD ROW-PKG


The owner of this SUV parked it in his Dallas driveway, made sure nothing

valuable was inside and locked it up.

So just what draws the attention of the crooks in that red car-- enough to

make them reverse and come back??

It turns out the three thieves are after--of all things---the 3rd row of

seats!

Watch as one of the trio breaks into the back--the two others dive in.

Within seconds, part of the seats are out. and in just 40 seconds, the

entire back row is gone!

Police say so-called "third seat theft" is on the rise---especially in Texas

and California.

Ivan Barahona/Theft Victim

"It feels really bad because people work really hard for what they have."

Replacement seats are in demand by SUV owners with damaged or worn out ones.

Detectives say the crooks can get about a thousand dollars for the seats--

on sites like craigslist or in a salvage yard. not bad for 40 seconds' work

!

Police often recover the stolen seats but have no way of reuniting them with

their rightful owner.

nat of engraving

which is why Los Angeles police are encouraging owners to engrave their SUV'

s VIN number onto the bottom of those seats.

Det. Mike Ventura/LAPD

"It's something that's very simple--with a little bit of time and effort

people can protect themselves."

Even something as inexpensive as a bike lock will slow crooks down. A good

investment--because replacing a stolen 3rd seat at the dealership can cost

up to four thousand dollars. Return to index of stories...

TEXTING INJURIES-PKG


MORE AND MORE OF US ARE COMMUNICATING VIA CELL PHONE. IT'S ESTIMATED AMERICANS SPEND ABOUT 2.7 HOURS A DAY ON THEM.

"At least once or twice every ten minutes."

ALL THAT TALK TIME IS CAUSING A PAIN--IN THE NECK!

"Your heads always down, when you're texting and I never thought that could be why my neck is sore."

CHIROPRACTOR KEITH JOHNSON SAYS HE SEES A LOT OF YOUNG PATIENTS COMING INTO HIS OFFICE.

"When we're texting we're keeping our neck in a forward flexed position for prolonged periods of time. And that ends up creating a loss of the normal cervical curve."

A NECK IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A -C- SHAPED CURVE TO IT.BUT WHEN YOUR TEXTING OR TALKING ON A CELL PHONE FOR HOURS AT A TIME--YOU CAN LOSE SOME OF THAT CURVE.

"If this is left to be over time this will create tremendous amounts of stress.It causes a lot of pressure in their neck and creates headaches, creates burning sensations in their neck, numbness down into their arms and hands."

AND IF YOU'RE TEXTING MORE THAN TALKING--YOU COULD GET A CONDITION KNOWN AS TEXTING THUMB. THAT'S A FORM OF TENDONITIS IN THE THUMBS.

"It's hard to use this, as fast as you use that. But that's how fast our brain thinks."

DOCTOR MATTHEW PUTNAM SAYS ALL THAT POUNDING WITH THE THUMB COULD CAUSE TRAUMA TO YOUR JOINTS AND LIGAMENTS.

"I really think probably doing it less with your thumb would be phenomenal as a general instruction for everyone." Return to index of stories...

JERRY SANDUSKY-PKG


ATTORNEY JOE AMENDOLA WITH THE BOXES OF EVIDENCE IN THE SANDUSKY CASE.

NOW IT GOES TO APPEALS-PRIMARILY BASED ON THE SHORT-7 MONTHS TO PREPARE FOR TRIAL.

Joe Amendola: That's probably going to be the foundation of our appeal. But there are other issues. For example, the issue involving #8, the hearsay testimony of what the other joggers said.

AMENDOLA CONTENDING MORE EVIDENCE ABOUT THE VICTIMS HAS COME IN AFTER THE CONVICTION.

We've received additional information about some of them which I think would have helped us if we had more time to prepare for trial.

THERE ARE OTHER APPEAL ISSUES-EVEN DURING COURT TESTIMONY WHEN TWO POLICE OFFICERS ON THE STAND CONTRADICTED EACH OTHER:

Last time I checked, that's called perjury, and nobody has spoken about that. If this had been a simple regular case, even a serious regular case, once you establish that the officers have lied, not only lied about coaching witnesses, but lied on the stand about what they'd said earlier or what they discussed in between. 99% that defendant would be found not guilty, the jury would toss everything.

LATE CAR PAYMENTS-INTRO


IF YOU BUY A CAR IN THE FUTURE AND DON'T PAY.THE CAR MAY NOT EVEN START.

A COLORADO COMPANY IS HELPING CAR DEALERS MAKE LOANS FOR CARS THAT THEY MIGHT NOT NORMALLY MAKE.

NICK EMMONS HAS MORE ON THE COMPANY AND THE DEVICE THAT'S MAKING IT ALL POSSIBLE. Return to index of stories...


LATE CAR PAYMENTS-PKG


BUYING A CAR IS STRESSFUL FOR ANYONE, BUT ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO DON`T HAVE A GOOD CREDIT SCORE.

There's a lot of places that have a lot of things they have to do where you can't get into a car.

JANET ARDOLINO IS LIKE SO MANY OTHER CAR BUYERS THESE DAYS. DEALERSHIPS JUST DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE RISK ON CUSTOMERS WHO CAN'T GET FINANCED AT BIG BANKS.

I have some really good people that, unfortunately, are a sign of the times.

BUT IN THE MID 90'S, LITTLETON BASED 'PASSTIME' CHANGED THE GAME.

I use to be one of those customers. Back in the 80's I had some credit issues.

STAN SCHWARZ WAS IN THE CAR ALARM BUSINESS BACK IN 1996 WITH PARTNER JAKE FRANK.

I walked into a dealer's lot here in town and he asked me if I could make this product for him that would basically help him monitor credit-challenged people.

THE DEVICE THEY CAME UP WITH IS QUITE SIMPLE. IT'S INSTALLED LIKE A CAR ALARM AND A SERIES OF BEEPS REMIND CAR OWNERS WHEN THEIR PAYMENT IS PAST DUE.

SO, SAY I HAVEN'T MADE MY CAR PAYMENT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, THIS IS WHAT I WOULD HEAR WHEN I START MY CAR.

YOU WOULD HEAR THAT SOUND FOR ABOUT 20-SECONDS, NOT ONLY WHEN YOU START YOUR CAR, BUT WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF, AS WELL.

AND IF YOU WAIT TOO LONG YOU'LL HEAR THIS.

THAT SOUND MEANS YOUR CAR HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN REMOTELY AND A G-P-S SYSTEM CAN TRACK YOUR CAR FOR REPOSSESSION, IF YOU DON'T PAY UP!

What it allows them to do, it allows the lender to take a little bit more of a risk.

THE FIRST ONE WAS BOUGHT BY A DENVER DEALERSHIP BACK IN 1997 FOR 150-DOLLARS. A YEAR LATER, THEY SOLD 300. AND NOW.

The company is going to do well over $20 million in sales this year.

THAT'S AS MANY AS 15-THOUSAND A MONTH. THE SUCCESS IS IN LARGE PART BECAUSE PASSTIME NOT ONLY PROTECTS DEALERSHIPS, BUT ALSO HELPS THE CAR BUYER.

Some of the smaller dealers, they require more down, I'm able to do it with a little bit less and work with people, first time buyers, people who've filed for bankruptcy, I can do all of them.

Oh I hear that beep and I know it's time to make a payment. But it's great. It's kinda like having an alarm clock, haha.

WITHOUT THE DEVICE, DEALERSHIPS AND LENDERS TYPICALLY SEE 30-PERCENT OF THEIR CUSTOMERS MAKE LATE PAYMENTS, BUT WITH PASSTIME, THAT NUMBER IS CUT TO BELOW 7-PERCENT. WITH NUMBERS LIKE THAT, DEALERSHIPS NATIONWIDE ARE BUYING-IN, AND THERE'S EVEN TALK OF EXPANDING OVERSEAS. Return to index of stories...

WEATHER-WX WALL


THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

A FEW SHOWERS FOR FRIDAY

Rise and shine Southwest Florida.

It looks like another glorious day is on tap, but don't leave home without the umbrella. You'll need it at times!

There's a cold front pushing into north Florida, and it's forcing a lot moisture into the state out ahead of it. You noticed it yesterday in the way of clouds, humidity, and the stray downpours.

Friday will be very similar. We'll have coastal showers passing through as you head out the door, and those will be progessing east of I-75 as we push into the lunch time hour.

Make sure the kids can find a way to stay dry as they head to school!

This afternoon - expect a few stray showers to be hanging around, too.

Tonight the cold front will be fading away, and that's good news for us!

Why?

Some dry nice air is coming in behind it. I mean. Really. Nice. Air. The humidity will be low, and we're going to see overnight temperatures drop to the lower 60s by Sunday!

With the drier air in place we'll see partly sunny skies for Saturday with a slight chance of a late day shower. Sunday, we really see the effects. The skies will be sunny, the humidity low, and not a drop of rain.

That will continue until midweek. Around the Wednesday to Thursday time frame we'll see our winds start coming from the east. That'll replace our dry air with the muggy uncomfortable air.

Highs will be in the mid 80s, and lows will tumble into the lower 60s after Saturday.

Tropical mischief? Nope, not a thing right now. Return to index of stories...

CRANE GAMES-PKG


Video: Montage of grabs and drops Maybe intersperse some of my exasperated

faces if needed.

As a life-long player, this news hit me like a ton of lead. The Claw is not

a game of skill, A NEW REPORT FROM XXXX SAYS

The arcade owners APPARENTLY fix it so that claw is too weak to win 11 out

of 12 grabs.

Stand aside Brian Ross, I'll handle this one Santa Monica pier, 3 pm, and

that's my partner: Milo, my little boy. Because basically this is kiddy

gambling.

UPSOUND: Milo asking for more quarters

33:32 M: We have more? N: We do have more.

11 times out of 12 that claw is as limp as a Frenchman's handshake. They're

taking candy from babies.

UPSOUND

34:54 M: I hope we do it!

GFX

And that, my friends, is legal. The State of California mandates that just

one in 12 times the claw must be strong enough to pick up a prize. Could be

worse. Over in Nevada it's just one in 15.

UPSOUND: Toy Story

"the clawit moves " "I have been chosenfarewell my friend I'm going to a

better place"

"gotcha!"

That, thank you Toy Story, is a rare occurrence.

The house always wins.

UPSOUND: Milo crying.

30:37 We'll win something else don't worry. We'll win something else. But we

don't have any more money!

$25 later

UPSOUND

23:06 M: There we go! N: All right hit the button Moo.

And we won a two bit bear.

UPSOUND

23:31 Laughing. Pull teddy out of machine Well done! Return to index of stories...
