Having your car stolen is bad enough, but Carol Denmead of Arizona experienced something even more traumatizing than your basic carjacking: a stolen vehicle with her precious pup inside.

It takes money to make money. That old adage applies even to those on the wrong side of the law. A robber in Fort Lauderdale, Florida had to buy a pack of gum in order to get a cash register to open when he tried to hold up a discount store earlier this month.

This is scary. Every day someone comes up with another way to get what you have. Do you think this is something you should be afraid of? Or is it just a scare tactic?
