100 MILLION DOLLARS TO BE EXACT.

VIDEO SHOWS AGENTS TAKING OUT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF ARTWORK FROM A LAS VEGAS WAREHOUSE ENGLER USED TO STORE EXPENSIVE ITEMS HE BOUGHT.

INVESTIGATORS SAY ENGLER USED THE ALIASES JOSEPH MILLER AND JOSEPH WALTER TO STAY UNDER THE RADAR, BUT AGENTS WERE ABLE TO STAMP OUT HIS REAL IDENTITY THROUGH FINGERPRINTS.

ENGLER DOES HAVE LOCAL CONNECTIONS.

WE STOPPED BY HIS FORMER OFFICE IN CAPE CORAL WHERE OFFICIALS SAY HE USED A COMPANY TO DEFRAUD INVESTORS IN A PYRAMID SCHEME.

ARRESTED LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT ON AN IMMIGRATION VIOLATION.

CAPE CONNECTION PYRAMID-POP

SMUGGLING HOW THEY GET HERE-VOTOPS

AND YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING WHY THEY WERE IN FLORIDA.

THEY WERE HEADING FROM HOUSTON TO MIAMI.

MOST ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS CROSS THE U-S-MEXICAN BORDER IN EITHER TEXAS, NEW MEXICO, ARIZONA OR CALIFORNIA.

BUT ICE SAYS ONCE THEY CROSS THE BORDER, MANY GET TO I-10, HEAD EAST ALL THE WAY TO I-75, THEN HEAD SOUTH TO FLORIDA.

THAT'S BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORK IN FLORIDA.

THE STATE OFFERS JOBS IN AGRICULTURE AND THE SERVICE INDUSTRY WHICH THEY'RE MORE LIKELY TO GET.

I think Marco Rubio would be the best choice. I think he is the most exciting. I think the concentration and what he can do with the Hispanic vote is a little narrow. I think, yes, he'll help with the Hispanic vote but he'll help with young people too."

EXTRA INTRO-TC MON

A COUPLE'S PROPERTY IS LITERALLY SHRINKING EVERY DAY.

THAT FAMILY'S FRONT LAWN IS DISAPPEARING BEFORE THEIR EYES -- FALLING BIT-BY-BIT OFF A 200-FOOT CLIFF.

AND THE SCARIEST PART --

THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

BIG SINKHOLE-PKG

IT ALMOST DOESN'T LOOK REAL.

NAT of crumbling

AS CHUNKS FROM ROY AND ROSALEE BALLINGER'S FRONT YARD CONTINUE TO FALL /

OFF THIS 200 FOOT CLIFF THEIR WORK SHOP WHERE ROY MAKES HIS LIVING IS

SLOWLY SLIDING TOWARD OBLIVION.

THE COUPLEWHO LIVE / IN WHIDBEY ISLAND NORTH OF SEATTLEARE IN SHOCK. WITH

NO WAY TO MAKE IT STOP.

IT ALL STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO

SOT ROY BALLINGER all of a sudden there was a geyser coming out the side and

probably squirting 25-30 feet in the air

A 500 YEAR OLD TREE USED TO GROW HERENOW REPLACED BY A 50 FOOT WIDE GAPING

HOLE.

AUTHORITIES BELIEVE THE GEYSER AND THE LANDSLIDE IT STARTED MAY HAVE BEEN

CAUSED BY EITHER A NATURAL SPRING CHANGING ITS COURSE OR FROM EROSION FROM

YEARS OF ABNORMALLY HEAVY RAINS.

SOT ROY BALLINGER We've enjoyed 15 years of living here and we love the view

but.the question is what will happen and we don't know that.

WHILE THEIR HOME DOESN'T SEEM TO BE IN JEOPARDY THE BALLINGER'S ARE WORRIED

THEY WILL LOSE THEIR WOOD-WORKING SHOP AND THEIR LIVELIHOOD

SOT ROSALIE BALLINGER The hardest part was seeing people TAKING THE SHOP

apart cause I know how he felt.

FOR NOW THE COUPLE IS WAITING TO FIND OUT IF THEIR PROPERTY WILL BE

CONDEMNED AND THEY'LL BE FORCED TO MOVE

SOT ROY BALLINGER We'll just relax for a while and hope that God is kinder

to us.

WEEKS BEFORE THE LANDSLIDE THE BALLINGER'S HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT PUTTING

THEIR HOME WITH THE STUNNING VIEW ON THE MARKET SOMETHING THEY REALIZE

WILL NOW BE A TOUGH SELL.

EXTRA EXTRA-OC

THAT HOME WAS IN SEATTLE.

BUT IN FLORDA,

SINKHOLES ARE A BIG CONCERN TOO.

AND THE COST OF GETTING INSURED IS GETTING EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE.

FLORIDA'S LARGEST PROPERTY INSURER IS RAISING ITS RATES.

THE GOVERNING BOARD FOR THE STATE-RUN CITIZENS PROPERTY INSURANCE HAS APPROVED AN 8 POINT 8 PERCENT MAXIMUM INCREASE FOR MOST POLICIES.

THEY CLAIM THEY NEED THE MONEY BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T PAY OUT IF A STORM HIT FLORIDA.

NOT EVERY POLICY GETS THE MAXIMUM INCREASE THOUGH.

FIVE SECOND RULE-VO

YOU DROP SOME FOOD.

NO ONE'S LOOKING.

DO YOU PICK IT BACK UP?

IF YOU FOLLOW THE 'FIVE-SECOND RULE' YOU DO --

BUT ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY, YOU MAY WANT TO JUST LEAVE IT ON THE GROUND.

DOCTORS AT LOYOLA UNIVERSITY HEALTH SYSTEM SAY AS SOON AS SOMETHING TOUCHES AN UNCLEAN SURFACE IT PICKS UP DIRT AND BACTERIA IMMEDIATELY --

MEANING THE FIVE SECOND RULE IS A MYTH.

THIS IS OF COURSE IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS WITH SMALL CHILDREN TO KNOW.

BUT THERE IS SOME TRUTH TO THE IDEA THAT EXPOSURE TO SOME CONTAMINANTS COULD HELP BUILD A HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM,
