9:02 am
girlfriend told me to steal this because we couldn't afford a christmas tree. it's a $245 pine tree. this guy is going to have to pay restitution. >> he probably could have bought the same exact christmas tree for like $6 at some lot. >> or go in the woods! >> want a little more bah humbug, now to st. louis, missouri, scout troop 374 has a christmas tradition of selling trees every year to raise money for their scout activities. a woman comes in steals a christmas tree from their lot at night when they're closed. you can see the woman in this surveillance video, pulling up in her dodge durango. there you see her dragging the christmas tree. stuffing it in the back of her truck. she's done this the past three years. >> you know, like that looks like the same darn lady. and it looks like the same vehicle and this year -- there was no doubt. i mean, it's like, holy cow. how can that be? >> she was so brazen this year, that she came back with a hammer. last year she had some trouble getting the tree out of its

9:32 am
it's set in an 18th century mansion and can hold up to 20 students at a time. the courses are not just like sexual theory. it's very and this is their words, hands on. very practical approach to sexual skills. they have high-tech teaching rooms. they have a physics lab. there are three disciplines in the asos system. sexual positions. caressing techniques and anatomical features. >> so you go to class and the lecture is to apply the theories with your classmates? >> apparently. they say it's the world's first school of practical sex. >> fantastic, if you like your classmates. but boy, what if -- you're not attracted to any of them. >> i couldn't figure out on their website, if you go solo, or do you go by yourself or do you go with your significant other? >> it sounds like this would be something that a lot of single guys would sign up for. i'm going to go to class,
9:33 am
because i know i'm going to get lucky. >> going to asos, you walk into class the first day and it's a bunch of dudes and there's one female teacher. >> what you see here is actually the swedish headmaster of the asos austrian international school of sex. this is eva maria thompson. the courses include sexual techniques, advanced intercourse. >> advanced intercourse? what does that include, like swings and stuff? what is advanced intercourse? >> and can you imagine if you met a girl at a club and she had her, i graduated from the school, you would know she's really good. >> yeah. santa's reindeer are getting ready for the big track. but be careful, they're up in canada standing on the road. watch out in you're in canada. the canada here in this video are licking the salt off the road after a recent snow. when they come through, they plow the snow off. and throw a little salt down.
9:34 am
and that attracts the caribou 0 come up and lick the salt. it helps them digest and helps them retain water. all the same reasons that horses and we like salt. so to find out a little bit more about these guys in this video, got the man that shot the video joining us "right this minute" via skype. so timothy, is everything i said pretty accurate about the caribou up in canada? of year they're moving quite a bit. >> how did you get them off the road? >> i just kind of creeped ahead a little bit. but they didn't get the message. and at that point in time i gave the horn a little blast and they started to run. but they weren't running off the road. >> how often are you seeing these caribou out on the road? >> late november until probably into march. you're going to see them around on the side of the road. and as soon as they see salt, they're up on the road. so most motorists know to be careful at this time of year, especially. >> are caribou just as good at towing sleighs as reindeer? >> my guess is they have a hard
9:35 am
time getting off the ground. but my guess is you could tow something with them. >> that's why my mom has a scar on her chin to this day? she thought a salt lick was ice cream, she took a lick of it. a cow went to take a lick at the same time and now my mom has a scar on her jaw. recent floods in thailand have left a lot of elephants without homes, a lot of them have been evacuated very stressful situation for these elephants. fortunately, there are people like paul who is helping the situation in his own way. ♪ ♪ >> this is paul barton, he's from the uk, but now is living in thailand. and he's playing piano for these elephants. he's playing slow movement from beethoven's "pathetique" sonata.
