AND FINALLY ...Imagine a rental car company steals their car back from you. This just happened to Twitter user Tarikh Campbell, who says his rental car disappeared from right outside his childhood home one night. In a long and twisty story, he investigated the disappearance.

Representatives said he was liable for a $20,000 car — plus, they charged him the full price and late fees. Only after the story went viral did Avis waive the fees.
