hi, everybody, i'm beth troutman. it's time to watch the best videos of the day, "right this minute". it's a different kind of smash-and-grab. gangs robbing cars as they sit in traffic. >> how it's leading to a new brand of street justice. you can't believe three guys are doing this inside grocery stores. now meet the cousins behind the outrageous videos. >> did you get in trouble for this prank? >> we didn't get in trouble actually. they kind of felt bad. every day, a woman gives herself bee stings. the story behind one strange addiction. plus, the monday buzz word for your chance at an ipad mini. and does this house cat realize who he's messing with?
2:31 pm
it's the epic showdown of -- >> cat versus crocodile, y'all. >> see who's a big man now. oh wow! reports say that this is video released by police in lima, peru. and what we're seeing is a group of men that police say are known as the coyotes, they're robbing cars as they sit in traffic. taking advantage of congested streets in lima. it's a smash-and-grab and they do it in groups. so that the driver is so stunned and so confused they don't know which side of the car to protect. they're getting away with belongings like purses and bags and phones. th perfect opportunity for a crime wave. they're all in one place, they can't drive away. they're kind of sitting ducks for this. >> lock your doors? start there, right. you see a couple of these guys run right up and open the door. >> police are saying that it is a smash-and-grab, so in some cases they make even break in a window. so even if your doors are
2:32 pm
locked, that might not necessarily help you. >> somebody shooting at them? >> yes. in fact reports say there was a police car caught in this traffic jam, and he saw what was going on and started waving his gun and even fired shots toward these guys. there's some more video that shows police arresting some people who were involved in some of these crime sprees. but police are still looking for members of this gang, this group called the coyotes. police say there are drastic new laws in place that allow for extended sentences for these kinds of crimes. and they're hoping that that will be a deterrent. >> two insanely scary videos. this first one is from russia. the person with the dash cam is driving down this road. look up at the road on the other side. >> oh. >> oh! >> oh! down came the power line. >> talk about an insanely close
2:33 pm
call for those two cars. it looks like one car rear-ends the suv. knocking that power line down. and coming straight to the car with the dash cam. the person reacts very quickly. misses the car, but ends up on the side of the road. finally smashing into a log, which helps it stop. >> you know what, it looks like he got out uninjured, though. maybe a little bit of a scratch to his car, but not a bad accident, considering what just happened in front of him. >> here's another really scary moment. it's a dh cam on a big rig. you see houses, possibly businesses, many driveways, keep an eye on the suv up ahead. it has a rack on the roof. >> oh! >> yes. >> goes right in front of the semi and ends up smashing head-on. mind you this thing is orange. how could they have missed it? >> how do you miss a bright
2:34 pm
orange 18-wheeler. >> they use this color for hunters in the woods. how do you miss this? at first glance you might think a few grocery stores may have overwaxed their floors. because we're seeing some spills both people falling and some spills because some gallons of milk and juice are falling all over the place. but quickly you realize it's not the floors -- this is actually a prank video from the chasy channel, based out of vienna, virginia. these brothers have been filming and posting their pranks on the web for a while now. >> hold on to this cart. hold on. come back this way.
2:35 pm
>> now, as you can imagine, a lot of mixed reviews online. we've got the gang from the chazy channel, here with us on "right this minute" to talk to us about this video. >> did you get in trouble for this prank? i can't imagine the stores were happy about it. or did they not care? >> we didn't get in trouble actually they kind of felt bad. they kind of acted like it was just like a typical spill. >> they didn't realize it was a prank then? they thought these were legit accidents? >> they never found out it was a prank. >> do you guys feel bad now looking back at this and causing the destruction that you caused? >> we kind of do now. but i mean it was just, it was an innocent prank. no one got hurt, nothing bad happened. >> tell us about some of the comments. what kind of reviews are you guys getting from this video. >> we're either really good or really bad. some are you are saying this is hilario hilarious, others are saying it's a big mess.
2:36 pm
>> what was your initial goal getting the video out there? what were you guys trying to accomplish? >> we thought maybe if we're lucky, get 50,000, we never thought we would get this many looks in this amount of time. 50,000 subscribers in less than a day. >> how do you top this? >> i don't think we can top it. and we probably won't do anything this bad again. probably calm it down a little. we've got an ipad mini to give away in just a little bit. >> you need monday's buzz word, you have to be 18 or older to enter. >> stand by for monday's buzz word. >> good luck, everybody. this is margaret, she's from morning view, kentucky and she has one strange addiction. >> i'm addicted to stinging myself with bees. >> margaret stings herself with bees, up to as many as 15 times a day. >> what the heck? >> i sting myself on my hips, my elbows, on a finger, ankle, my forehead, on the tips of my nose. >> she's been doing this for a
2:37 pm
decade. she started doing this because she wanted a treatment for arthritis. >> i had read how people had been using it to relieve certain pain symptoms. the first time that i stung myself it didn't hurt as bad as i thought it would. and it just got easier every time. >> you know, the show on tlc "my strange addiction" has shown strange addictions, but i've never seen anything like this. >> she raises the bees for this purpose. it looks like she has at least a bee hive so she's able to do this constantly. >> getting stung by a bee is not fun. she seems to take it like she's taking an aspirin. >> i've got chills from this. >> i, i, i -- >> it's bizarre. that is so bizarre. >> you can watch margaret's entire story on "my strange addiction" on tlc on wednesday, february 27th, 10:00 p.m., 9:00 p.m. central. >> i feel bad for the bees. >> we have a shortage of bees in this country. we need to save the bees, not sting ourselves with them.

2:43 pm
you want to throw a snow shovel at him. it's very aggregating. >> part of your job is not to intentionally bury more people in the snow, it's to get rid of the snow so cars can drive. >> i realize you got to shovel. but if you were that worried about shoveling, you park your car in the parking lot and take a cab home. >> the maybe the best part of his day maybe shouldn't be making people's lives harder. >> i feel bad for him, maybe he shouldn't have lost his job, he should have gotten a stern talking to. >> but his views reflect the company he's working for. if it was his truck his own company, a different story. >> this is my enjoyment part. cat versus crocodile y'all. this is in india, a domestic stray cat made its way into a zoo and had an encounter with a crocodile. this was filmed by a woman and her husband, they went to the zoo to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. and boy, did they get a show.

2:51 pm
down the snow. it took five days at one point it was 24 hours in the oven. just to bake in the curve of the snowboard. >> unbelievable. look at that. >> to give it strength, they tempered the glass. >> these are the technicians that are going to put the technology in the glass so we can ride it without them, it would be impossible. >> so grazi. >> they went up to the tuscan area in italy, to test the snowboard out and dave being the nice guy that he is handed it right over to one of the craftsmen that helped build it. >> so fast. so fast. >> we see, watch it slide effortlessly across the snow. >> it's just smooth. >> after the first run the board looked like this. >> ooh. so it did break up a little bit. >> it fractured. but this is tempered glass, so it didn't fall to pieces and it was also laminated. they got a couple of hours of use out of this board.
