A new type of porch pirate: An Army vet was busted for lying about his disability to snag benefits, but the real shocker is how they caught him. Kansas cops filmed the guy’s front porch for 68 days, 15 hours a day, warrant-free. The court ruled that since cameras are everywhere, there’s no reasonable expectation of privacy for the front of your home anymore.
Oh, frunk it: The front trunk (“frunk”) door on Tesla’s $81,000 Cybertruck can chop off your fingers. A video on X showed veggies getting the guillotine treatment, making it an obvious and serious safety issue. Most cars with autoclosing doors have sensors for this exact reason.

That’s how high a drone was flying when it nearly collided with a British Airways plane. Pilots spotted the drone 30 miles from Heathrow at an altitude of 9,600 feet. The drone came within five feet of the plane’s wing.

Shocking crime: A 13-year-old Pennsylvania girl stabbed and killed her mother after her mom took away her cellphone. The girl also stabbed her 11-year-old brother, who survived. She’s being charged as an adult with criminal homicide and aggravated assault. How can something like this happen?

It’s the most distracting app on the road. No like, post or comment is worth a car wreck. Please — it could save your life or someone else’s.

Conspiracy theories spreading online: One with biblical ties says the April 8 eclipse passes over eight towns named Nineveh and the end is here. (Ahem, it’s only two towns.) Now, the eclipse also goes over Santa Claus, Indiana; Ding Dong, Texas; and Booger Hole, West Virginia. Nope, Christmas isn’t coming early with free donuts and boogers.
