from his bank account. matt jablow is following the story and he joins us now from wheaton with the details. >> reporter: anita, police say it happened in broad daylight hat this busy shopping center here in wheaton. a 75-year-old man literally terrorized for several hours. >> this is somewhat unusual. >> reporter: montgomery county police say a routine trip to the supermarket turned into several of the most terrifying hours of a 75-year-old man's life. >> he was fully aware of what's going on. >> reporter: it was right around 2:30 this afternoon when according to police, the man was coming out of the giant supermarket at the west field shopping center. cops say the victim was approached by man with some type of weapon. >> we believe it possibly could have been a knife. >> reporter: he then forced the 75-year-old man into his own car and over the course of the next few hours, drove to several atms and made the victim withdraw money. how much money? >> we don't know at this particular time. >> reporter: before eventually taking off and allowing the

victim to return home unharmed. >> he is a little bit shaken up but he's okay. he's okay. >> reporter: police describe the suspect as a black man between 35 and 45 years old. about 6'0" and 180 pounds. he was wearing a gray sweatshirt. dark colored jeans and a black baseball cap. police also believe it's possible that he cut one of his fingers during the incident. should you have any information, any information whatsoever about the suspect including of course who he is or where he is, you are urged to call montgomery county police at (240)773-5500. anita? >> hopefully get some leads. matt jablow, thank you. how'd you like to get some extra cash? just claim it. at the bottom of the screen we're running the names of the people who have money held by state treasuries. if you see your name, be sure the log on to wusa9.com, and click on the claim your cash link. would you actually believe thanksgiving is known as the

most dangerous holiday of the year when it comes to drinking and driving? >> montgomery county police say they're out to catch you. our ken molestina is out in montgomery county. ken? >> reporter: yes, they are. consider this your fair warning, police out here in montgomery county have set up this check point here off jones bridge road and rockville pike in bethesda. they're calling this turkey chase. today they gave us an inside look at what it's all about. >> right between their eyes. out to shoulder length. we're looking for where that onset first began. >> reporter: it starts with a quick briefing. >> stop, we count it. >> reporter: then operation turkey chase is underway. more than 30 police officers hit the streets with one priority -- looking for underage drinkers and drunk drivers. >> we're out in force. and we're going to make sure that there are cops all over this country.

>> reporter: montgomery county police chief thomas manger is talking tough but he says it's for good reason. the night before thanksgiving is one of the most popular for crimes involving alcohol. this driver was caught drinking outside a liquor store and then getting into his car. after a field sobriety test he was let go but not before being cited in public. >> i think it's a great idea. as a resident keeping the streets safer is a wonderful idea. >> reporter: that's the aggressive approach that police say will get their message out. >> we're in the going to tolerate -- not going to tolerate drunk driving. it's dangerous for you and it's dangerous for everybody else on the road. and we're going to lock them up. >> reporter: another live look right now at operation turkey chase. this sobriety check point off jones bridge and rockville pike. although chase is built around the thanksgiving days, the stepped up patrol to catch the

drunk drivers is going to last into the beginning of next year. derek, definitely something for folks to think about. back to you. >> definitely something to think about. new at 11:00, right now maryland state police are working the scene of a deadly car accident. sky 9 out over the crash scene. that's 270 near parker mills road. the town is urbanna. police say only one car was involved but the driver of the car died at the scene. investigators tell us the car had been stolen in virginia at a pizza place. the crash did cause some traffic delays. tonight police are looking for a man who carjacked an suv with a baby still inside. it happened this afternoon at an exxon gas station on kennedy street in northeast. a woman was there pumping gas. a stranger ran up and jumped in the driver's seat and took off. fortunately he pulled over just a few blocks away and bailed out. the child was not hurt. a crime that almost seems foolproof. steal a car, pass it off as

abandoned. and walk off with the cash. in maryland as long as the vehicle is more than eight years old they don't have to check for salvage titles but police will still nab you. that's the catch. that's what these people are accused of in montgomery county -- all facing autotheft charges. >> down on the beltway. their car could be gone and at the scrap yard and crushed by the time they even report the car stolen. so this is a huge impact. >> wow, police say the group stole a total of 23 vehicles over the past two creeks and they were using -- years and they were using tow trucks to take cars that has been abandoned on the beltway and take them to scrap yards and sell them. the name is darrell green. if you see him. police want to hear from you. a camera used to catch

pictures of wildlife captures a thief in the act unnested. when the sheriff's department got the video, of a suspicious guy looking into cars at night, they posted it on their facebook page. from there, leads started to pour in. leading to the arrest of jason grimes. >> it was just amazing to see how active the public was. >> i linked it and sent it to my friends. and before long, it was leadershipped every -- linked everywhere. >> deputies had to chase grimes but they caught up with him and they posted pictures online. tonight some families in st. mary's county are thankful for a quick thinking bus driveer. a school bus was forced off the roads but it could have been much, much worse. now this all went down last night at the intersection of mechanicsville road and buzz creek road. police say john patrick cravats was driving drunk and drove into the bus. the basketball team and the

coaching staff from grady mills high were on board. the school says he was able to keep the bus from tipping over thanks to his quick maneuvers. >> in the emergency room he was so emotional. he teared up. and his main concern was not for himself, but for the students. >> well, cravats was arrested for dui. the bus was coming back from virginia. it is the fifth straight day of clashes in egypt. the u.s. and united nations are urging an end to the violence as three american students face even more questioning there. police arrested the college students during a protest accusing them of throwing fire bombs at officers. all three deny the charges. one of the young men, derrick sweeney goes to georgetown university. he was able to call home and speak to his mother for about 90 seconds. >> i asked him if he threw anything off a roof. i said we're hearing that you threw something off a roof. he said no, we didn't.

we didn't do anything. >> swee three's father will travel to -- sweeney's father will travel to cairo monday if his son is still in custody. meanwhile the death toll from this new wave of violence in egypt's capital is up to about 40. there were even more confrontations today between police and protestors in tahrir square. they are demanding egypt's military leaders relinquish power right now. the leaders announced an accelerated timetable for transferring power to an elected government but it remains to be seen. for more than 23 million people are expected to travel by air this thanksgiving holiday and they will be bringing as much as they possibly can on board in their carry-ons. thankfully congress just may soon consider a bill that would limit or do away with those checked bag fees but for travelers that day can't come soon enough. >> everybody carries everything on instead of checking it.

so instead of paying a $20, $30 bag fee, they lug it all on the airplane. >> i have some legal briefs and my computer. a bunch of clothes and presents for my family. it's all crammed in there. >> yeah, problem is, all that carry-on luggage is doubling the wait time for the security screening and what's more the tsa now needs another $260 million of your tax dollars to process all the extra bags, top? you know with 64 today. that's a distant memory. temperatures are now 20 degrees colder and that high temperature occurred at 9:00 this morning. here's the wakeup weather for turkey day. 32 to 42 at 6:00 but clear. 35 to 45 by 8:00 and taking a predinner walk in the morning? grab the shades and a sack et. we'll come back -- jacket. we'll come back and take you all the way through thanksgiving and the holiday weekend. it's time to claim your cash. money from forgotten bank accounts, safe deposit boxes and even relatives' estates

just sitting and waiting for you. we have the most up-to-date list of names on the loster right after the break. and one washington thanksgiving tradition has given one of our reporters a bit of indigestion already. where the heck did this pardon the turkey business come from? we'll talk about it after the break.

angie dixon's husband is a little richer tonight, so are kim thompson's kids. they found their loved ones on the list, a list with more than $2 billion worth of unclaimed money from unactive bank accounts, insurance payments, inheritances, all kinds of stuff. there are more folks that might have money coming to them. so let's get right to some names from virginia and maryland -- your names are on the list right now. over to d. c.. we're going to start in the northwest -- you all may have some money coming your way. if you didn't see your name, you can still have money that's rightfully yours, all you have

to do is go to our claim your cash site. it's at wusa9.com. type in your flame and the city -- name and the city to see if you're on the list and plus more names tonight across the bottom of the tv screen. 5,000 people were treated to a free thanksgiving lunch today. thanks to an army of volunteers. we're talking about the annual feast of sharing. it's down at the washington convention center at the volunteer wait staff served turkey and all the trimmings to senior citizens and others on fixed incomes, low incomes and no incomes. the shoutout to safeway which has organized this for the past 12 years, the first family was also getting in the hol dale spirit. president obama -- holiday spirit. president obama and michelle obama and their two daughters paid a visit to the capital area food bank in northeast d. c.. every year, its distributes millions of pounds of food. today the obamas helped other volunteers pass out the fixings for that thanksgiving dinner. well, the president also

engaged in another thanksgiving tradition today. >> so we thought it was appropriate to assign one of the turkeys he didn't pardon. [ laughter ] >> well, anita, anyway, is right. this silly nonsense is a thanksgiving tradition that engages us for a few seconds on the news every yearment it is goofy and ridiculous and somehow it is considered normal and an expected parking lot of the job for the leader of the free world. so a year from now every one of these candidates actually wants to be in a position to do what this candidate did today and here's what they have to say. >> i like doing this. you are hereby pardoned. give him a round of applause. >> and they did. you know what they used to do? the turkey industry used to present one to the president. harry truman sang i'll greet it and eat it and then he did. they gave john kennedy the bird

with a sign around its neck good eating mr. president. jfk said no, let it live. they're as feisty as tasty. liberty the turkey lunged at president reagan in 1981 and tried to escape. prompting reporters to ask if they were drugged into submission. in order to get the bird to behave presidentially,, the post says no nerve endings, no pain. this one looks like it wants to eat president clinton's suit coat button. the official pardon business began with the first president bush about 23 years ago. maybe the best take comes from the show "the west wing." and one annoyed president bartlett. >> by the power vested in my by the constitution of the united states i hereby pardon you. okay. no. it's not okay. morton, i can't pardon a turkey. if you think i can pardon a

turkey, you need to go back to your school and insist you be better prepared to go out in the world. >> you can't pardon a turkey? >> no. i'll tell you what i can do. i'm drafting this turkey into military service. >> kind of makes sense in real life the pardoned turkeys end up at mount vernon. you know when the president was at the food bank today. he gave out packets of carrots. little baby carrots. little baby carrots that never did anything to anybody except try to grow in the cold ground to the warm sun to become as big as they could and as good as they could presidential carrots and the president just gave them away and told recipients eat these and enjoy thanksgiving. no pardon for the carrots and no outrage from anyone as far as we can tell. innocent little baby carrots. that a day from now will have been ripped apart and then dropped in stomach acid and nobody, nobody in last night's presidential debate said they were going to do anything about it. enjoy your dinners.

>> we're going to slip a valium into yours gary. okay, so folks think thanksgiving is all about the turkey. but derek says those folks are wrong. there's one other dish bout which it's not -- without which it's not really thanksgiving or christmas or maybe even sunday dinner for derek. >> let's face its anita, everybody likes to talk turkey but few really like to eat it. you have to load it down with the cranberry sauce and gravy or maybe even fry it. no, the real star of the thanksgiving meal is the macaroni and cheese. don't take my word. check out former secretary of state con di rice on pat robertson's 700 club club. >> mac and cheese. >> sister, that's my additional. that's the one thing i can rock but only once, once a year. >> good interview christine. congratulations. >> thank you pat. >> what is this mac and cheese? is that a black thing? >> it is a black thing pat.

>> pat maybe it's a black thing but from what i can find out. almost mostly a southern thing. it's a dish imported from italy by none other than thomas jefferson which in my book makes mac and cheese all american. as you are dousing your turkey in the dressing and gravy and everything else. rice and i and maybe old pat robertson will be leading up on the mac and cheese because let's be real -- it's open season on the macaroni and cheese. anita? >> on the carats, the only one that gets the pardon is the turkey and not our turkeys. >> not our turkey. we used to make mac and cheese because that's tall girls could -- all the girls would eat. all right, what a great, great gorgeous day. i mean a great day to take a walk either before or after the meal. let's start with temperatures because again that 4 is a

distant memory. temps have pretty much plummeted since then. in the low 40s in the burrens. looking at 43 in frederick. even manassas and leesburg checking in at 45. 43 in martinsburg and you jump the divide 32 for the friends in oakland. let's factor in the wind, still driving temperatures that you feel into thes. feels like -- 30s. feels like a 36 in gaithersburg, upper 30s in leesburg and also in frederick and 39 in hagerstown and feels like it's 23 over in oakland. looking really at a chilly morning but a seasonable afternoon which means highs generally in the upper and lower 50s. milder on friday and saturday. unbelievably nice november weekends. we'll continue that streak. another great weekend. temperatures well above average by saturday and also into sunday. now overnight, clear skies, weapondy much colder. two blanket night. lows 32 to 43 and winds still

knot west at 10 to 20 an occasional higher gust. by morning, moment, breezy and -- mostly sunny, breezy and cold. 30s and 40s and winds not bad. northwest at about 10 to 15. by the afternoon, mostly sunny and pleasant. you need sunglasses for the walk, highs upper 50s. winds not a factor, in fact they become west northwest at about 10. so let's break it down for you. 7:00 in the morning, 32 to 42 with clear skies. 50s by noon. and we're looking at 50s also by evening with clear skies. a seasonable day. now the next three days just gets better really. milder on friday. 64. i guess you can shop if you want to on friday. i think that's a waste but go ahead. 64. someone's got to support the economy. i'll be playing golf. upper 60s on saturday just great. now the next seven days, clouds come at us on sunday. we're going to keep it dry during the day. maybe some showers at night. temperatures should still make it to 60.

and then temps will go downhill. a reality check. rain and showers on monday at least through the morning. showers on tuesday only 50 degrees. and we close out the month under partly cloudy skies. that's the good news. bad news is high temperatures only in the lower 40s. >> but you're going to be golfing this weekend, that's what matters. >> i think so. out shopping. sports right there. >> gabby trying to get people's attention over there with the caps. not playing too well? listen up fellas, get in shape. that's what he's talking about. >> did it work though? >> kind of like you and me, get in shape. >> picket up my brother. -- it up my brother. amazing what a benching can do. alexander cyamine gets back into the lineup tonight and says take that coach. still the caps and jets go to extra session. and for the record, deangelo hall is not on suicide watch. trust me. i'll explain that when i get back.

and welcome back, a healthy scratch but make no mistake, alexander semin got benched monday because his play's been just so-so which doesn't cut it when you're a $6 million guy. he got back on the ice tonight.

bruce boudreau said he took the demotion well. i'll say. ovechkin to semin, stick to neck. that is semin's fifth. 1-0 capitals but third period. bryan little big, ties it and we're going to overtime. so we got dennis wideman to economy mer is. offensive outburst for him this year. what gives jay? >> got to wait until mid 30s to get it going you know. i don't want to peak too early. >> it takes a lot of -- i don't know, fortitude and intestinal fortitude or character or whatever. but it was pretty proud of him tonight. >> i think that's the word. intestinal fortitude. georgetown, memphis in hawaii. this is greg winnington is maitre d'. he says i'll get that and put that away. final minutes, this is jason clark whose jumper got wet in

overtime. three of the game high 26. hoyas hold off memphis 91-88. virginia tech taking on syracuse in madison square garden. eric green got it going here. drop it like it's hot. three of his 14. 29-27 at the break. but syracuse, going on a 17-2 run in the second half. they pull away. 69-58 is your final. all right, so by now you know the story, deangelo hall distraught after giving up a key third down reception to dallas' dez bryant. told reporters maybe i should get cut and release me because i'm not getting the job done. noble, yeah. extreme, i'd say absolutely. in fact, hall says he heard from a lot of players around the league who told him yo bro, you shouldn't be cut. hall told reporters today -- hall says he heard from ben

roethlisberger, ray lewis and larry fitzgerald. here's what the coach said. >> i like that how he was you know a lot of emotion. he wanted to make the play. put the blame on himself and i think that's what winners do. but hey you have to be accountable. >> got to be accountable. finally tonight, pro go sticks, motorcycles, it's never a good combination. never. never. the i need to see -- do i need to say anything else? pogo sticks and motorcycles? >> you act like they didn't know that was going to happen. >> yeah, we knew it. that was an easy one for me. >> we'll be right back.

we're still debating our

turkey meals. howard -- >> you are frying the turkey, please be careful. we want you back watching the show tomorrow night. >> me too. good night, stay safe and have a wonderful thanksgiving everyone. >> gobble gobble.
