Secret Santas give $100 to strangers
"Secret Santas" are roaming the streets of North Carolina, handing out $100 handshakes.
The Charlotte Observer reported that crew of donors, who insist on anonymity, handed out the C-notes Friday to anyone who looked like they could use it.
Felicia Adams was handed $100 while she was working at a Goodwill outlet store. She said the money will help her get to
New York to visit her father who is dying of cancer.
The donors take thousands of dollars from their own bank accounts to hand out. It's the fourth year the random acts of kindness have been done in Charlotte. This year, a half-dozen volunteers from the Charlotte police and fire departments tagged along, guiding the group through the city and suggesting people they could help.

Two teens steal 17 calves for farm
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Two teenage boys from central Minnesota are accused of stealing at least 17 calves to start their own dairy farm.
Authorities this week arrested a 19-year-old from Rothsay and a 16-year-old from Barnesville.
Stearns County Sheriff John Sanner says deputies received a tip that led them to 17 calves and eventually the teens. The calves are believed to have been
stolen from three counties:
Douglas, Stearns and Todd.
Investigators say the teens told them they wanted to start their own dairy farm. They say the teens planned to keep the heifers and sell the bulls, splitting the profits.
The calves have been returned to their owners. The case is being forwarded to prosecutors for possible theft and burglary charges.

Unabomber's land goes on the market
LINCOLN, Mont. — A 1.4-acre parcel of land in western Montana that was once owned by Unabomber Ted Kaczynski is on the market for $69,500.
The listing — by John Pistelak Realty of Lincoln — offers potential buyers a chance to own a piece of "infamous U.S. history."
"This is a one of a kind property and is obviously very secluded," the listing says. It doesn't say who owns the property.
Kaczynski is serving a life sentence for killing three people and injuring 23 during a nationwide bombing spree between 1978 and 1995. The Harvard-trained mathematician railed against the effects of advanced technology and led authorities on the nation's longest and costliest manhunt before his brother tipped off law enforcement in 1996.
Government investigators labeled him the Unabomber because some of his attacks were directed at university scholars. Associated Press
