know hi, everybody, i'm beth troutman. we have the best videos of the day for you, "right this minute." surveillance video and police ask the public to help find the burglar. wait til you hear who steps up. >> the guy is like, uh -- i'm pretty sure that's you. >> this may be the classic case of tough love. >> oh. >> that thing has got to be a jill i don't know years old. >> pretty close. but speech is not impressed. >> it had a good run. >> but how it started is no laughing matter.
3:01 pm
ice that ate a motel. >> it almost looks like the ice is alive. >> they picked up enough steam to come crashing into shore and take out buildings? >> as you'll see, that's exactly what happened in frozen wisconsin. and far from the ice and snow, it's dolphin play time. >> they seem to be really mesmerizedllowing the paddle. >> come along on al's dolphin adventure. we begin today's show with surveillance footage and the remarkable story behind it. this is surveillance footage from a computer store called star west computers. there are two people who come into the store. they end up stealing $6,500 worth of computer gear. the police officers actually released this surveillance footage, because they wanted to catch these two guys. pay close attention to this guy in the middle of your screen. it looks like a plaid jacket. because this is where the story behind the surveillance footage gets interesting.
3:02 pm
on friday morning, a gentleman was watching television, eating breakfast, with his son, and they had a news program on in the background. on this news program, they started playing this surveillance footage. the father recognized this man as his son. the son, he was eating breakfast with at the time. the son's name is jeremy blair. he is 26 years old. as soon as the father recognizes his son, he says, son, you've got to turn yourself in, and jeremy blair listened to his dad and turned himself in to cops later that day. >> i just think about those two guys sitting there eating cereal, and dad is, like, uh, i'm pretty sure that's you. dad, there is something i've been meaning to tell you. >> great thing of the video, owner of the store who is also a father said, look, this is tough love. but the dad did the right thing, because in the long run, the son is going to benefit from having to deal with the consequences of his actions. so people are praising the dad for doing the right thing. >> any word on what happened to the second guy? >> the second guy is still at
3:03 pm
large. >> the other guy has got to be quaking in his boots wondering when the long arm of the law is going to reach and grab him. the south carolina highway patrol recently released dash cam video from an incident on march 3rd. officers were called to a portion of highway 17, south of georgetown, carolina and we see what looks like a jeep wrongler looked over there. the driver of this jeep, that's the man there with the hood on. that man is frank reachio. eventually the officer moves on to asking him to doing the old nine-step heel-to-toe walk. >> put your right foot in front of your left foot. >> not a problem. >> do what i'm doing right now. you're not following my instructions. sir? >> mr. reachio was arrested for driving under the influence and failing the sobriety test. but the thing about this video,
3:04 pm
at the time back on march 3rd, frank reachio was the major of the mt. pleasant police force, a police force in south carolina, where he had been serving for 29 years. >> oh, no. >> yeah. of all people that you would expect to know better. >> right, because he's saying i'm sure over and over and over again, traffic fatalities, traffic accidents caused by driving under the influence and here he is. >> lucky it ended the way it did, in the median without cars. following this incident, mr. reachio was released on bond and resigned his position. but you've got to say, it was a heck of a way to end a long career on the force on the other side of the law. what do you keep in a boat house? a boat. but not in wisconsin. this is ice from lake winnebago that has blown on to the shore.
3:05 pm
ice has taken out sheds and boat houses. >> these are sheets of ice that were floating on top of the lake blown by heavy winds. they picked up enough steam to come crashing into shore and take out buildings? >> and here's the thing. the ice has been melting and there's not much ice left on the lake, but they said there was enough to come ashore and mess up these people's sheds and boat houses. >> it almost looks like the ice is alive. it looks like the ice is alive like the blob, and it's trying to swallow that shed. >> the thing that's terrifying is the sound. you can hear the ice and the creaking. >> look at this image we're seeing from wbay near green bay. look how much ice was blown ashore. it wasn't like one or two chunks. it was a whole lot of ice in this ice shove. the people you're seeing here are margin and pete. they are neighbors. >> once the ice blows over, you know it's going to continue. and they keep on sliding and
3:06 pm
breaking apart. >> you can just see it climb over, roll down. that was scary. you can't see my door at all. it's all pushed in. >> they shared home voluntary of this ice shove, and you can see it took out his boat house. i hope the boat wasn't in there. >> don't mess with mother nature. that is a massive fire that broke at an historic castle in slovakia. >> oh. >> that thing has got to be a jillion years old. >> when i say historic, the first written mention of this castle was in 1333. >> are you kidding? it lasted all those years and now it goes down to fire? that's heartbreaking. >> it is believed this fire was started by a couple kids trying to start a cigarette. >> that started the grass on fire and then the grass started the castle on fire? >> yep, the entire roof of this castle collapsed. >> it had a good run. i mean, 13 -- >> oh, my gosh. >> things can't last forever.
3:07 pm
>> this thing was up longer than most buildings will ever be up. >> it's heartbreaking to see a piece of history like this literally go up in flames. if you ever need a reason not to smoke, this is one of them. and according to reports, the kids were about 11 and 12 years old and in that country if you're under the age of 15, you do not get prosecuted. >> imagine the antiquities inside this place. i'm sure this was probably a huge tourist attraction that brought tons of money and visitors to the area. that's a shame. >> amazingly, 90% of those antiquities inside were saved, including photographs, oil paintings. >> this will become a story, 200 years in the future. well, that big fire of 2012, and then we rebuilt and it's still going strong. he literally went to the ends of the earth to bring back these pictures. >> just knowing that it's not touched, you know, by man. these are all things that you might be the first one seeing. >> spectacular scenery and penguins. who could ask for more?

3:11 pm

3:12 pm

3:19 pm
>> what the heck was that guy trying to do? trying to pass somebody in the other lane? >> we don't know for sure. but the description of the video said that the driver of that car was intoxicated. >> oh. >> that -- >> i wonder if this could have been avoided, maybe, i don't know, if there had been lines on the road. i can't really tell what's going on if i don't know what the lines on the road should be. >> do we know what happened to the driver? >> we know that everyone survived this accident. here's a couple cute otters on a cold, wintry day. and there's a little water hole. they're enjoying an eel they have caught as a snack. the fat keeps them warm during the winter. >> as we learned before in wildlife videos, you're going to enjoy a snack, you better watch out for who else is around. and this will be one of those moments where i just say, wait for it. >> oh many!

3:21 pm
of the top on the list. one guy in russia created an rc version of the delorean that looks exactly like it, which, okay, that's maybe not that difficult. but he's managed to make this thing fly, too, just like the delorean. >> oh, no way. >> so you're seeing a little bit of how he put this thing together. i've got to say, when i first watched this, i was like, couldn't this possibly be fake? but no, he's outside, so there's no strings attached to this thing when he launches it off the ground. you see he's got all these cool lights, you see him there with the remote control operating this thing. >> yes, that's so cool. that's like one of those quadra copters. they've got little propellers on >> exactly. underneath the and this thing is so cool to see it in the air. it looks exactly like a delorean from the movies. >> yeah, exactly like the end of "back to the future," where he's like he's like roads? where we're going, we don't need
