push it. >> i think daddy needs a new surround sound. how is that? >> yes. >> i don't need to ask for anything at home. my wife lets me do all this stuff. when i was a kid, my heroes didn't wear capes or camo. they rode motorcycles. and that has nod changed. this guy is cruising on the way home from work. and he saw a guy up ahead with a high visibility vest on. he thought the dude was looking for a ride. then he saw a tug of war start and realized he had to do something. >> oh, whoa! >> right at the right spot. is he getting away with the bag or something? >> the motorcyclist chases him, doubles back, runs the other way. the guy on the bike doesn't end the pursuit. he turns around, goes back

through traffic and then sees the bag there on the road. success. >> that's the vehicle it was taken from. >> exactly, ollie. before anton gets off the motorcycle, he kicks the bag off under the motorcycle to protect it. then another guy steps up to grab it wearing a similarly looking vest. >> does he get punched and run over, too? >> no, he was a good guy in the scenario. the guy hands it over to the man who it was taken from. that's a laptop computer. the man doesn't seem to be terribly grateful. i think he was a little irritated by the whole situation. >> i'm ready to cut him some slack because he just got carjacked and is probably kind of stunned. >> anton, the man on the motorcycle, asks the fellow if he's okay. >> it is just a simple mistake of driving with his window open, a tempting target. >> the suspect in this case did manage to get away. and in the comments of the video, anton says it is unlikely that police will do anything on this. and this is beautiful country. this is vance national park in

canada. something really cool happened there a year and a half ago. 16 bison were reintroduced to the area where they have been absent for 140 years. >> it's not so much absent but wiped out. >> looks like they are happy with the new surroundings. >> they were fruitful and mullfullied. >> the 16 bison have given birth to two crops of calfs now with a total of 31 animals. giving them opportunities to eat the natural forage, to learn to cross the river, to go up the steep mountain slope so it isn't a huge shock to them when they are released. >> oh, thank you for bringing us home. >> what we're about to see are the first steps that these bison took into the wild when they cut the fencing back at the end of july. you have some men with tears in their eyes about to witness something that is pretty incredible. they take the fencing down -- >> what a gratifying program to be a part of.

that's why we have this camera and why we have this footage. once the stop sign comes out, they record, analyze and confirm and send it to the police. now, nobody in this video received any tickets or anything like that because this is a pilot project which was authorized by the quebec government. but i think this is a great idea. and i think as a technology improves, the hd quality improves and the license plate reading technology maybe gets more in. this could be a way to stop these people from killing all these children. a family gathers together for a big occasion. >> because really what they want to do is insanely special. >> the sweet story behind one out-of-the-world sendoff. and digging into -- >> 40 jumbo wings doused in habanero sauce. >> see if he can go into full-on beast mode to conquer the challenge.
