\s these people think they've won a new laptop. but instead, they're under arrest. this fisherman thinks he's hooked a shark. but it's the shark who's hooked him. caught on camera, a cop caught off guard. a driver on a dangerous path. a skydiver crashing to earth. unexpected situations. >> oh, my god. oh, my god. >> unpredictable endings. improbable suspects. >> oh, my god. oh, my god. >> and what in the world is this car thief doing on a golf course? >> he's going to steal a golf cart now.

hello, i'm contessa brewer. welcome to "caught on camera." when it comes to skydiving, you may want excitement, but you don't want surprises, certainly not at thousands of feet in the air. but surprise is what one instructor gets. not once, not twice, three times in one day, all while heading straight for the ground below. [ screaming ] >> it was really not my day. i should have stayed in bed that day. >> oh, my gosh. >> adrian "wildman" thuma is a skydiving instructor who takes

people on tandem jumps in wollongong, australia. on january 12th, 2007, he's getting ready to head up again and joking from behind the camera with his next passenger, scott. >> ready to go? >> i'm set. >> did you see my last one? >> no. >> good. >> good because it hadn't been perfect. that was when thuma got the first surprise of the day. his main parachute developed a tension knot in the lines. >> so the lines have slack in some stage. so they went through themselves and created a knot like this. you're always prepared for your main parachute to go wrong. about one every thousand jump that happens. >> thuma cut away the main parachute and used his reserve. >> i landed on the ground just thinking i had my bad luck for the day. >> but the day isn't over yet. less than an hour after his first parachute problem, theuma

and scott head up to the drop zone at 14,000 feet. then they jump. theuma captures it on a video camera attached to his left hand. >> we fall perfectly. >> at 5,000 feet, he releases the main parachute. for the second jump in a row, surprise. there's a problem. again, there are tension knots in his lines. he tries unsuccessfully to clear them. after falling for over a thousand more feet, he knows he has to turn to his reserve. >> sort of looked fine as it's coming out of the bag. it sort of comes off and looks like a streamer almost. >> as the parachute starts to open up, theuma sees that he has a nightmare situation on his hands. surprise number there, there are tension knots on the line of his reserve, his last option. >> as soon as i seen the knots, that's when i knew we were in big trouble.

>> the knots are on one side, causing the parachute to go off kilter and keeping it from inflating properly. >> i was really trying with everything i could to fix the problem. break like to undo the knots. but the parachute enters a dangerous spin. the pair is hurdling toward the ground now less than 3,000 feet below. theuma pulls on the opposite brake line hoping to stop the line. >> i did everything i knew how to do and we're still spinning the other way. i had a moment of going, i think this is it. you know? >> theuma instructs scott, who doesn't know anything has gone wrong with the reserve, to hold the brake lines while he reaches higher on the lines to try to balance out the spin.

>> i needed his help to try to help me adjust the line. >> the plan works. >> it was above our heads, so i knew that we were in a lot better shape than what we were spinning. this was as good as it was going to get. >> but they have no control over the parachute. they're traveling at a high rate of speed than normal. >> i thought you got to be joking. we got to change that. >> if he doesn't change the course, they will land on the train tracks or caught on the power lines alongside them. but the only way to steer the parachute is to let it spin again. he decides it's worth the risk. they're now just 1,000 feet above the ground with only seconds before impact. >> i managed to get it to stop spinning again within 800 feet. look down. and now we're going to land in a back yard. i didn't have much say in that. so we just sort of braced for impact.

>> theuma and scott come crashing through a tree, taking out a branch and smack into the ground. somehow, scott escapes injury. but theuma isn't as lucky. he fractures his back and broken his tailbone. six months later though, he's back jumping out of planes, despite the accident that could have claimed his life. >> it was a freak occurrence. sort of treat it like that. treat it with respect, but it's not going to stop me doing what i love. coming up, a fisherman becomes shark bait. >> i didn't think i'd ever see the boat again. >> and later, danger on the road. >> it actually was coming directly through the center of my chest. >> when "caught on camera: surprise!" continues.

a fun day out on the water suddenly turns into a surprising life and death struggle between man and shark. >> i didn't have time to take a breath. it happened so fast. i didn't know i was going in. >> august 31st, 1997, massachusetts. jimmy deambra and friends take off on an annual day-long fishing trip on an anniversary present from his wife. the group brings along a video camera to record the outing. it's a perfect day to be out on the water. >> on our way there, there was no wind. the ocean was like glass. nice and smooth. >> on this day, they're fishing for blue shark. >> there it is. >> adult blue sharks can be from six to 12 feet long and weigh up to 450 pounds. deambra's gone out for this

powerhouse of a fish before and knows what to expect. >> shark fishing is exciting because it's like hooking your fishing pole up to the bumper of a car, trying to bring it in. it's unbelievable the strength and power of these fish. and they're beautiful. electric blue. they, like, glow in the water. >> deambra started shark fishing in 1991 when he was diagnosed with non-hodgkin's lymphoma. >> i was on chemo. i didn't think i was going to last longer so i wanted to have fun. i didn't care what was going to happen to me. i was going to die anyways. >> deambra survived the cancer and kept on shark fishing. on the boat, they joke about the danger. >> don't put your hand in the water. they're going to love you. >> when we go out fishing, we were joking about how dangerous it is. and nothing ever happened. so it's easy to joke about it when you don't really experience

it. >> where'd that shark go? >> he's not going anywhere. >> he's waiting for someone to fall off. >> just before taking a turn at the reel, deambra was joking with his friend, steve. >> i heard about a guy who went over and they never found him. >> and we all laughed. and i was the next one up. >> deambra sets up with a harness which resembles a big leather belt. the butt of the fishing rod sits in a cup between his legs. it's then attached to the harness with two clamps. >> they don't want to lose the pole because it's worth a couple thousand dollars. you're attached to the pole but you can walk around the boat while you're fighting a fish. >> which is exactly what he begins to do when he hooks a shark who's been attracted to the boat by a tuna head in the water. immediately, he notices

something isn't quite right with the reel. >> it was stuck and the pole is, like, bending in half. i was like something is wrong with this. >> but deambra keeps fighting the shark, caught up in the moment, eventually getting him to the back of the boat for the first mate to cut the line. they are to catch and release the fish, but the shark had other ideas. >> he took off and went straight down. >> as the shark dives, the reel jams and deambra's pulled right over the side of the boat. >> when i felt myself going over, it was like that feeling you get when you're having a nightmare and you're falling off a cliff or falling off a bridge. i felt like when i went in the water, i was going down a black tunnel. >> as the shark drags him down, deambra tries to unhook himself from the reel, but he can't break free. seconds pass as deambra fights for his survival. on board, his friends search the water.

then suddenly, the reel spins out line and deambra swims for the surface. the boat's captain and his friends try desperately to grab on to him. just when thing they have him, the shark pulls down on the line again. and that's not the only shark to worry about. >> there's four or five sharks swimming around because we got the chum in the water. i was kicking them so they wouldn't bite me. >> after a frightning struggle, the guys heave deambra back in the boat. he lays there exhausted, catching his breath. >> i almost didn't think it was real. it was like a dream i was back. i didn't think i'd ever see the boat again. >> despite his brush with death, it's not long before his friends start teasing him. >> i knew i should have taken an insurance policy out on you. >> love it. >> not for nothing, how was the water? >> i'm laying there and now i'm getting angry. i'm like, i can't believe this

fish pulled me over. >> don't move. i'm trying to unhook the reel. >> that was great! >> back on his feet, deambra's still got the fight in him. he's looking to show that shark who's boss. >> i said give me that pole. i'm taking him in now. >> with four guys holding tightly now, he reels in the shark. >> and the captain's like, what do you want to do? >> i said let him go. i said i'd stuff him. i said let him go. he released me, so i released him. >> jimmy, i think this is something you'll never forget. >> that shark almost had italian food for dinner. >> all joking aside, deambra's taking his close call in stride. but the others on board seem to have lost their appetite for shark fishing. >> most of the guys just wanted to end the trip.

they didn't even want to come out on the deck anymore. >> deambra has now taken up fresh water fishing competing in bass fishing tournaments and sticking to slightly smaller catch. but he'd go to deeper waters if anyone would dare join him. >> if a friend of mine called me up and said we're going shark fishing next week, do you want to come? let's go, i'm going. for me, i don't have any of those friends left. they're all afraid of sharks now. coming up, a drive takes a sudden turn. >> it is coming through the center of my chest. >> and look who's at the wheel of this stolen car. >> oh, my god. oh, my god. >> when "caught on camera: surprise!" continues.

directly at me, directly through the center of my chest. >> april 1st, 2011. mother of two, wendy cobb, is on her way to work in shelby, north carolina. >> i was a couple hours late going into work so traffic was lighter than usual. >> despite the light traffic, cobb is blocked by two trucks ahead of her playing a dangerous game. >> one would speed up and the other would slow down. they wouldn't let the other beside them. >> trucks on this road are supposed to say in the right lane, but the one truck isn't letting the other truck over. cobb takes out her iphone and goes to record the logo of the truck on the right so she can report the dangerous behavior to the company. the other truck has no logo. cobb's own action taking out her phone and filming the scene isn't exactly safe behavior either, but she feels confident she's in control. >> i had the camera here and aimed toward the truck in the lane. but i was still watching the road in front of me. all i intended to do was get the logo on the video.

but i got a whole lot more than i bargained for. >> then cobb sees a two by four from the side of the road come at here. >> i saw the first truck, first wheels hit it, the back wheels hit it, and it was like slow motion. i thought it's not going to hit me. >> but in a split second, it does. >> the impact was amazing. amazing. it sounded like a gunshot. and then the echo, which i don't know if it was real or in my mind, but it was deafening. i know that. >> the two by four hits the front hood of the van leaving a long dent, burst through the glass, and smacked into the front dash. >> it hit right here. and that's kind of what pushed it just far enough away that it missed me. >> there was not an inch between where it hit and my arm. >> when the wood punches through the window, glass flies

everywhere. >> there were glass shards, i mean big pieces, in my girl's car seat. i remember watching the glass sink around me. it was like snow. even the next day when i would shake my hair, glass would fall out. >> after the impact, cobb is so stunned, she can't even scream. >> i remember my chest hurting. and i remember shaking. it was all i could do to wipe the glass off my phone to use it because my fingers were shaking so hard. >> cobb, mostly unscathed from the accident, pulls over to the side of the road, stops the recording and dials 911. when the first police officer arrives at the scene, she plays the video she just captured. >> he said you realize you almost filmed your own death. >> looking back at the video, what frightens cobb the most is not what did happen, but what could have happened. >> 95% of the time when i leave home, i have at least one child with me.

my 8-year-old, now that he's big enough, he likes to sit in the front. had i not just taken him to school, he would have been right there when it happened. the fact nobody was in the passenger seat was just a miracle. >> critics complained the accident only happened because she was busy filmed than looking at the road. >> to me, it was no different than someone taking a drink or smoking a cigarette or things people do when they drive. it happened so fast that i don't think there was any reaction at all that would have changed anything. not for the better, i mean, it could have gone worse. but for what it was, i was really lucky. a car thief falls right into a police trap when she takes off in a bait car. >> she decided she was going to take a car that day and picked ours. >> come on, open up the door. keep your hands visible. >> but it's the suspect who catches the police by surprise. >> i was a little taken back on the operator of the vehicle.

it was totally out of the norm. >> july 28th, 2008, arlington, texas. detective jesse minton of the arlington police department auto theft unit is alerted that a bait car has been broken into. bait cars, rigged with cameras and gps tracking equipment, are used by police departments nationwide to catch thieves in areas where auto theft is a problem. >> we pick a car that looks like cars that are most stolen. we lock the doors remotely. record everything inside with video cameras and microphones. then we deploy them to a place where we have a crime problem or persons are stealing those types of cars in the area. we're basically fishing with the bait. >> the bait car, a red chrysler sebring, is stolen just down the road from the station.

an alert is triggered when the door's opened. >> once that activation is received, all i know is it's moving 20 miles an hour west on division street. >> the bait car is headed towards james greenwell, then a patrol officer with the department. and when the suspect drives by greenwell's cruiser, the officer is surprised to see who's behind the wheel. >> as it goes by, i see who was in it. i was shocked. the suspect was an elderly female. totally out of the norm for an auto theft suspect or somebody taking a bait vehicle. i was double checking my facts to make sure that was the right car. >> seen in this video shot from the bait car, the suspect enters the car and after finding the keys left lying on the seat and placing her shopping cart in the back drives off. greenwell follows behind her and when she peers back in the

window and she peers back, it's a moment of mutual confusion. >> she definitely turned and saw me. we made eye contact. >> no. oh, my god. oh, my god. >> i could see her making motions. she was talking to herself. obviously, i didn't know what she was saying. maybe she was shocked that the police were so quick because i was that it was her in the vehicle. >> when greenwell flashes his lights, the vehicle pulls over. >> vehicle pulled over on the shoulder. we pulled behind it in basically textbook fashion for a high-risk traffic stop. i gave her verbal commands. for the most part, she obeyed commands. >> let me see your hands. open up the door. keep your hands visible. stay right there. stay right there. turn around. face the other way. >> got her secure. >> now walk backwards. >> turn around. come on back. walk back to me.

walk back to me. >> backup arrives, and the officers surround the car. >> call out to the vehicle, nobody else responds. nobody else responds. you always anticipate if there's one suspect, there's always another. >> but in this case, the suspect acted alone. officer greenwell transports the senior citizen to booking and she doesn't go quietly. >> she was mad at whoever left the keys in the car and for us arresting her. she called me an agent of the devil. and it wasn't her fault. it was whoever left the keys out there. we should be arresting that person and not her. >> but the evidence is clear. the suspect, 69-year-old sandra turner, can't deny what's captured on the bait car camera. she's convicted of unauthorized use of a vehicle and is sentenced to 24 months probation. the arlington pd says this car snatcher is their oldest on record. and she's one suspect the officers involved won't soon

forget. >> i never in my wildest dreams anticipated a 69-year-old woman taking the -- stealing a vehicle. coming up, another day another bait car and another unexpected twist. when "caught on camera: surprise!" continues. ars. you named it brad. you loved brad. and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends. three jobs. you're like "nothing can replace brad!" then liberty mutual calls. and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement, we'll pay for a car that's a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. but i've managed.e crohn's disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me

welcome back to "caught on camera." i'm contessa brewer. just like our last video, a thief is caught on camera inside a bait car. but this time, the suspect makes a mad dash for freedom and leads police and a television news crew through an 18-hole golf course. i bet you never saw this kind of drive on the fairway. may 5th, 2008, las vegas. metro police have placed an unlocked bait car in the parking lot of the angel park golf club to lure car thieves who've been targeting the area. it's early in the morning, but someone's already bitten. the car thief finds the keys in the center console of the cadillac escalade, gets into the driver's seat and takes off, checking to make sure he isn't being followed. but unbeknownst to him, authorities are tracking his movements. and they're not the only ones. high overhead, the crew in the

action 13 news chopper are making their morning rounds,. monitoring the police scanner and roads for any stories. and boy, do they find one. when aerial photographer jason harvey hears news through his headset, he perks up. it's the police broadcasting the bait car description and general location. harvey relays the information to pilot paul hollenbeck who flies toward the scene. >> we decide we'll find it and see what happens, because you can never tell. >> the suspect starts driving the wrong way down a multi-lane road. and the police, who have full control of the vehicle, decide they need to shut it down quick. >> control 267, turn that car off now. >> i got him. there he is.

>> about that time, we saw the vehicle. >> with the car stopped and the doors automatically locked, the suspect knows he's in trouble. but he's going to try and make a run for it. >> somehow, after banging on the locked door with what appears to be a laptop computer, the suspect makes his escape, but he doesn't get far. hollenbeck and harvey track the suspect as he runs from the car and hops a fence back on to angel golf course. >> i start talking to the assignment desk, talking to the producer. get us on air. we got a guy running on the golf course just jumped out of a stolen car. >> as soon as he got over the fence, they started to break in. >> what have you got? >> we've got a car here that just fled a bait car. he tried to steal a vehicle. he's trying to run away from police who just responded to the location of the vehicle. >> hollenbeck continues to narrate the action. then as they were trying to cut

away to the studio -- >> going to steal a golf car now. this will get him going. >> the determined suspect hops in a golf cart and takes off at full speed. >> now we're going to be chasing this guy in a golf cart. so we'll keep an eye on this and see exactly what happens. i don't know how far he's gonna to get with that. >> the anchors at the news desks takes their best shots at the absurdity. >> he's off the cart path. that's another penalty. >> he's not the smartest club in the bag. >> as the suspect continues to weave across the manicured green, the eyes in the sky spot someone hot on his tail. >> looks like we got somebody in pursuit on him in another golf cart. >> this gets better and better. >> yeah. there it is. he's a worker. he's going to chase him down here. >> golf course employee john howard is opening the restrooms by the fourth hole when a co-worker flags him down.

>> all of a sudden i hear, "my cart, my cart." i looked up. he was going like this. "my cart, he stole my cart." i looked over and the guy was right there taking off in the cart. so i ran and jumped in mine and went after him. >> howard pursues the thief as he heads toward a tunnel that will take him under a roadway and onto another section of course. it's a high-speed golf cart pursuit. well, as high speed as it gets for golf carts. overhead, the chopper swings around to get a better angle on the continuing action. >> got around to where we could see the cart was there, but it was empty. now we started looking. >> howard is looking too. >> i parked my cart behind his and got out, grabbed a ball marker fixer to go after him. i couldn't see him. he was hiding. >> the thief's taking a little rest under a nearby bush. >> and then once he saw me, that i was still coming after him, he jumped up and ran up the hill. >> howard is trailing the suspect, who seems to be running

out of steam as he heads toward a fence separating the course from a busy road. >> i almost had him and he jumped over the fence. and that fence was eight feet high and i wasn't going over it. >> although the suspect is completely exhausted, he runs on, right on to summerland parkway, risking life and limb. he makes it across. but waiting for him on the other side, officers from the las vegas metro police. >> he's face down on the ground, giving himself up after his horrendous pursuit in a car and also in a golf cart. this is awesome stuff this morning. >> he's happy to be arrested at this point. >> i'll tell you what, he's tired. >> it's a disappointing day on the links for the 25-year-old suspect, larry stidum. he pleads guilty to grand larceny auto and is sentenced to a maxium of eight years in prison. for hollenbeck and harvey, it's an interesting morning in the skies of las vegas.

>> to steal a bait car, hop over a fence into the golf course and steal a golf cart, it's not something you hear about or read about every single day. coming up, a surprising fall from the sky. >> it's going to blow up! >> and a bounce house filled with children goes airborne. >> oh, my god. >> when "caught on camera: surprise!" continues. how much money do you have in your pocket right now? i have $40, $21. could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement? i don't think so. well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. ♪ oral-b toothbrushes aree engineered al,

it's a surprising fall when a helicopter drops from the sky. >> i looked up and noticed we were going down. >> and heads straight towards a crowd of spectators. >> there's somebody in there? >> racers ready! >> it's may 9th, 2011, the second day of the buffalo bill down hill race, a long board competition at lookout mountain just above golden, colorado. skateborders come from near and far for a chance to race down lariette leap road at speeds up to 40 miles an hour. a helicopter is hovering above the course preparing to cover the final feet of the race. todd jewette comes for a mountain for a day hike but is captivated by the race and joins the crowd of spectators lining the twisting road. he's shooting the riders speeding by when the helicopter arrives on scene. >> first he game right over our heads along the road.

i was filming him a little bit because it was neat and the helicopter was there. everybody is cheering, getting that. and a couple more of the racers starting coming down. >> other spectators also catch video of the helicopter swiftly losing altitude and drifting towards the side of road. >> it looks like the tried to land in the switchback. >> he clips a tree and crashes on a slope. part of its tail snaps off. >> the rotor was hitting the ground as it tilted forward. there was bark and wood around it. you didn' tknow what was going to come flying off. was the rotor going to come flying off or pieces? you're so close that you'd never see it coming. >> jillet and the others run for their lives, afraid the helicopter was going to explode. but what about the three people inside the aircraft?

"caught on camera." there's a surprise in store for both a police officer and a suspect. when the officer unwittingly interrupts a robbery. >> the first two seconds was what's he doing? he can't be doing this right in front of me. >> dayton, ohio. december 16th, 2010. shortly before 6:00 a.m., police officer joshua campbell walks into this walgreens pharmacy following up on a reported robbery that happened just hours earlier. >> we had the tape we were going to get for evidence.

>> as seen in security camera footage, officer campbell waits patiently to collect the video from the cashier, who appears to be ringing up a customer. but seconds later it's clear to the officer that this is a robbery in progress. >> as soon as i had turned around and actually looked at the teller, and i saw her basically put her hands up, back up, take off running. >> officer campbell can't believe what he's seeing. the suspect seemingly oblivious to the officer standing inches away, reaches over the counter and starts grabbing money from the register. officer campbell approaches, gun drawn. he tells the suspect to get on the ground. >> he's not doing that. he's telling me that he didn't do anything, that nothing's wrong. yet, i'm still telling him, get on the ground. >> but the suspect isn't about to give up. >> i tried grabbing his left wrist, trying to get him on the ground, pretty much like slinging him down to the ground. he was able to duck that, basically, and remain standing up. >> with his weapon drawn,

campbell only has one hand to work with as he tries to subdue the suspect, who's pulling away from the officer toward the door. campbell's able to hold the suspect away with his left arm just long enough to holster his gun. >> put both hands right on the collar of his jacket, and with all my might, just basically forced him right down to the ground, threw him down. >> when the two hit the ground campbell radios for assistance. >> i'm able to get on the radio say, you know, i'm at the walgreens, i'm fighting one. that's about all i could get out. >> then the brazen suspect starts hitting the officer, landing several punches to the side of his head. the suspect again makes a run for the door, but campbell reaches out and grabs at him. this time, as the two have at it right in front of the open door, officer campbell can feel the suspect pulling on his holster. >> i could feel him tugging at my gun. i basically pushed him on the ground, landed on top of him.

that's when we got outside. >> outside and partially out of view of the cameras, officer campbell and the suspect continue to struggle. >> got, like, my knees and my torso and everything on his body. you know, he's still flailing. he's got his hand on my holster, trying to grab for my gun, i believe. >> within seconds, two employees rush to campbell's aid. >> they were able to grab him by the legs, help me get control of him. >> when police backup arrives, another officer helps cuff the suspect, 55-year-old donald cotton. cotton is later charged with robbery, aggravated robbery, and assault on a police officer. he pleads no contest and is sentenced to two 4-year terms to be served concurrently. for officer campbell, walking in on a robbery is one surprise for the storybooks. >> the crazier thing about it was, i thought he saw me. yet, he still went ahead and decided to rob the store right with a cop behind him.

and finally, caught on camera. these people in cookville, tennessee, think they've hit the jackpot, winning a free laptop computer. but they're in for quite a surprise when they come to claim their prize. >> yay! >> it's july 12th, 2003. >> it's going to be a very interesting day. >> and the dekalb and putnam county sheriff's departments have come up with a creative way of getting people with outstanding warrants to give themselves up. >> as sheriff, i was always looking for innovative ways to do my business. and every sheriff's department in the country has numerous warrants that are outstanding. and people become difficult to find. >> the inspiration for the operation? a fake giveaway used by the federal marshal's service years

earlier. >> we sent out letters to someone telling them they won a laptop computer and they would need to show up, claim their laptop computer. >> these people have been calling us for all these years. it's time to con them. >> the sting is set up at a rented warehouse, made to look like a new business, cbi computers. cbi stands for crime-busting industries. as cameras roll, detective lyndon powell runs through details for the team. >> it's going to be pretty short, okay? we've already got customers outside waiting to be arrested, okay? the way that the operation is designed is they in come up to the table and we have two or three cbi employees at this point. >> the front office is staffed with members of local law enforcement acting as cbi employees. once the undercover officers confirm the identity of the person coming to claim their prize, another employee leads them to the room where they think they'll be picking up their new laptop. when the lucky winners pass through this door, they're

greeted by uniformed officers, ready to place them under arrest. surprise! >> down. >> get down. >> sheriff's department. >> they come through the door. you'd see them, and it's like, oh, all right, i won! and sometimes the color just drained from their faces. it was like, oh, my gosh, i have been had. they were all very surprised. >> some people are bewildered by the overwhelming show of force. >> what's wrong? for what? >> i don't know what's going on. >> you're under arrest. >> i understand that part, but i mean, what outstanding warrant? >> many more are just confused. >> what'd i do? i don't even have a clue what it could be. >> what'd i do? >> for this woman -- >> yay! >> -- excitement at winning a big prize quickly turns to shock, as plastic handcuffs are tightened around her wrists.

and this couldn't have happened to her on her worse day. >> she was actually on her way to her sister's wedding, and she told us she was going to give her the laptop as a wedding gift. >> my sister's wedding day. >> by the time she was processed and appeared before the judge, she did not make it to the wedding. so, that was probably the saddest. >> more than 650 letters were sent out. and in the end, 70 arrests are made. >> we got about 10%-15% of the people we were looking for, which was a little bit disappointing. i mean, i would have liked to have gotten them all. >> all of these laptop winners later have their day in court, where their guilt or innocence is determined. >> any time you can clear your old warrants out, it's a good day. >> they didn't see it coming, but thanks to the cameras, we did. i'm contessa brewer. that's all for this edition of "caught on camera."

they're all american girls raised to believe that the suburbs are safe. >> just because you make $100,000 a year and live in a fancy house doesn't mean it won't happen to your kid. >> that sex slavery is a nightmare reserved only for foreign women or troubled teens in the big city. >> we are made to do this. we are forced to do this. >> any family can be affected. it's not uncommon for the parents to believe, not my child. >> today, fueled by the power of the internet, selling teenage girls has exploded into a billion-dollar business. >> the internet is one large, global brothel where women are trafficked. >> where men can order girls without ever leaving tom
