hello, everyone. i'm beth troutman. it's time for videos first, "right this minute." a guy named jake sees his stolen bike on craigslist. >> so jake has put together a sting. >> how he lured the suspect into a web for police. >> i was scaredbut you know what, sometimes you've just got to do the right thing. are animals suffering at marineland? a former staffer claims things
4:01 pm
are so bad that video shows -- >> at times skin from these animals peeling off just in the water. >> hear what else he claims that -- >> people would never imagine. members of a wedding party want to make a grand entrance at the reception. >> they had a grand idea. didn't quite work for them. >> the story behind the bridesmaid and the big lug. and meet medusa, a very thirsty -- see which head wins when feeding time rolls around. jake gilam had his bicycle stolen from southeast portland. >> i just saw it on craigslist posted in seattle, washington. >> the bike stolen was worth about $2500, so jake put together a sting. called the guy, set up a meeting. >> okay, so we've identified my bike, it's around the corner. >> i have cold chills. >> i'm scared.
4:02 pm
>> this is brave of this guy. >> so here's the deal is that i live in portland and you stole my bicycle and this is my bicycle. >> all right. i don't know what you want me to say. >> i would like you to apologize. >> for what? >> for stealing my bicycle. i have paperwork, i have police on the way. i'm not letting you guys leave. no, you're under citizen's arrest. stop right now. >> you don't run away from the scene if you're innocent and you really bought the bike. jake gets on a jibicycle and starts chasing after this guy. he takes his cell phone, leaves it in his pocket and continues torecord. he knows he's got something for the police to sink their teeth into. > here's seatle pd putting cuffs suspect. >> wow. >> whoa! >> so a pretty successful sting operation set up by jake. to tell us about how this feels
4:03 pm
to get his property back, jake joins us via skype "right this minute." >> it's the best feeling in the world. not only do i get my bike back, i get to make an example of this guy for everybody to see. >> how did you know it was exactly your bike? >> i had one blue pedal and one gray pedal. and when i saw that in the posting, i knew immediately that was my bike. >> what was going through your mind? were you nervous? >> yeah, i was nervous. my blood was pumping. i was scared. but you know what, sometimes you've just got to do the right thing and step up. i'm not going to let a little fear of a tiny little guy [ bleep ] prevent me from doing that. >> this is githe guy that stoley bike. >> why do you think this is the guy that ripped you off. >> i know everything about him. i know his home address and he lives several blocks away from where the bike was stolen. the reason it was put on the internet, we want to put an example out of him. we want to make every thief think twice because they don't know who they're messing with. i want victims to do the same
4:04 pm
thing. >> according to seattle pd, the suspect is facing a felony charge for dealing stolen property. i have a couple of videos to show you. this one looks like it's an early commute somewhere in eastern europe, very possibly russia. >> whoa! >> where did that guy come from? was that beeping like a countdown to destruction? is that what's going on? >> it looks like some of the cars are making a left-hand turn at the light is turning green for the other cars. as they start hitting the gas, it looks like the guy in the van decides to try to make it. >> no chance that van is getting in there. i think that van was part of like a caravan really, because these two other vans are exactly the same and it looks like that third van was trying to catch up to stay in line with those other two. >> on the back of the van there's a phone number, probably one of those "how am i driving" numbers. call that.
4:05 pm
not very good. >> speaking of i didn't see it coming, look at this one. it looks like this one happened back in 2011, but it's just now being posted on the web. all of a sudden out of nowhere comes a car right off the shoulder and then, boom. >> oh, boy. >> what the heck happened? >> it looks like he was traveling on the same road. you see that exit? maybe he turned like he's going to take the exit and then tried to go back, ended up in the dirt and that's how he lost control. >> what the heck was he going so fast for. he just barely missed the telephone pole too. >> no details on what actually happened but you do see some people pulling over to provide this aid. >> you smack him. >> what were you thinking. it's always tough to hear stories about animals being mistreated. in this video, which we found on thestar.com, a former employee of marineland, which is an aquatic animal park in niagara falls, ontario, canada, claims
4:06 pm
just that. >> over the course of my employment at marineland, i was witness to things people would never imagine. >> the former employee was a trainer that left back in may of 2012 after 12 years working at marineland. >> the chemicals we were using to try to maintain the water were really harming the animals. the sea lions would go up on land and dry themselves out and clutch their eyes shut. their entire complexion would change. >> phil also mentions how these animals would be in the water swimming with their eyes clenched shut because the water he thinks was damaging their eyes. phil and his co-workers would have to move these animals into dry colenclosures. these two, baker and sandy, waddling around with his eyes closed. that's a bucket of fresh water. you see him continually come over and dunk his head into the water.
4:07 pm
they move baker back into the water. he didn't want to. he barked and his eyeball lens popped up and blood started to stream from baker's eye socket. >> if this is true, it sounds like abuse. >> we reached out to marineland for a they didn't get back to us by our deadline, but john huller is the owner of marineland. he's been the owner for 51 years. and in an article in the "hamilton spectator" they report that john denies there are problems with water quality at the park and that unhealthy water has harmed marine animals. he was also quoted in saying all our facilities are legal. people should know by now that cameras are pretty much always rolling, especially if you're in russia. >> in here too. >> that's true. >> this is footage shot by a customer, a patron, in russia. these guys are at a clothing
4:08 pm
store. pay attention to this guy right here. apparently according to reports, this man stole a shirt. some clerks at the store are not going to let this guy get away with his theft. things get a little physical. >> whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. >> left, right, left. >> that was like a 12-hit combo. >> was that jackie chan they're trying to tame? holy cow. this guy really wants those pants. >> this guy in the pants and the jacket that is the suspect, the guy that they have bent over, that's the guy who, according to reports, stole the shirt. these two guys, those are store workers. a security guard also gets involved in this. they can't take him down. >> the security guy comes over and is like, all right, i'll handle this. these two are like i don't know who we're dealing with. this guy is like a ninja. >> that guy is throwing roundhouse kicks. if i'm the clerk, i'm like have the shirt, we'll see you later.
4:09 pm
>> this clerk is bloody all to goodness. look at his face, blood all over his shirt, blood down his tie. >> it's not like they check if you have good fighting skills when you get a job in retail. it's not like can you beat up a potential thief. >> so the guy just walked out of the store then? after that the guy with the blue pants just walks out. i wonder if he got way with the shirt. do you get to go home after that after you get your clock cleaned by jackie chan in the clothing store? do you get to say, look, i'm out. this guy is going so fast, and he's going to crash. >> went through four pine trees splitting them in half. >> see why it happened, next. ah, its exotic sights. hey, that guy is naked! >> how is that comfortable too? there's a lot of action down there, you know what i mean? >> yep. and there's that, "right this minute."

4:19 pm
trying to smell random people. he's smelling guys, he's smelling girls. i think some of the girls think it's a pickup line, can't blame them there, but it's definitely another funny video from andrew worth checking out. there's another parody of "sexy and i know it" called "we are nasa and we know it." >> oh. >> add this to the ever-long list of parodies of the song. >> to check these videos out head over to rightthisminute.com and click on -- >> best of rtm. >> you smell great. >> like laundry. >> we got thi video from kentucky.com. what you're seeing is surveillance footage from southern oaks funeral home. and the guy in the middle of your screen examining a tractor. according to police is 35-year-old derrick l. cross. apparently he was on his way home from a big ole yard sale when he passed this funeral home
4:20 pm
and noticed this tractor. and i guess he didn't find what he wanted at the yard sale and he decided he wanted a tractor. this is a $13,000 tractor. as you watch this video, you see him checking it out, eventually, allegedly this man stole this tractor. >> i wonder if this is the tractor they use to dig the holes. >> i know. isn't this a bad omen? >> if it is, he deserves it because he shouldn't be stealing that tractor in the first place. >> this all happened on monday night. on tuesday the sheriff's department posted the surveillance video on their facebook page. tuesday night brings the tractor back. according to the sheriff's office, they received tips on this guy's identity. because of this video, it led them directly to cross, and cross apparently confessed. he told police that he is an ordained minister and that he planned on selling the tractor, but his conscience got the best
4:21 pm
of him. >> police have arrested derrick l. cross and he's been charged in this incident. >> well, maybe he just needed to go home and mow his lawn or something. he just borrowed the thing and said, you know, i'm just going to borrow this. everybody is inside, they won't miss for it a night, and i'll bring it back tomorrow. time to get a little freaked out. n albino honduran milk snake named medusa. it's got two heads. it belongs to ben siegel reptiles. it's for sale for. >> 50 gs. >> why is it so expensive? >> it's got two head. each head can control the body in such a way. what's crazy is that they both are completely operable. they both drink water, they both eat things. once they make their way over to this dish, both snakes go in and
4:22 pm
have a little drink, whet whistle. >> is it a they, is it an it? >> you always say two heads are better than one. in this case i don't actually know. throughout the video they're fighting over which way to go. they said they were offered 20 gs for this thing. they turned that down. they're asking for 50 because this thing is very special, super rare. snakes usually go for $100 to $150, so this is a pretty pricey snake. >> because it's got two genetic mutations. it's an albino and it has two heads. >> can you imagine breeding it with the other snake? one snake would say i like this one but i don't like the other head. it looks at me funny. >> in this other video, the two heads will like fight over which head gets to consume the meal, even though it's all going to the same place. >> they don't know that they're attached. they think they're two snakes that are having a hard time getting around. >> what if one head tried to eat the other head and they started
