Police believe a Washington woman used her toddler to steal an antique violin from a teenager Wednesday afternoon at a local restaurant.

Mount Vernon Police Lt. Chris Cammock told ABC News 17-year-old Kalob Tatum entered a McDonald's with his backpack and violin after school. When he went up to the counter to order a burger, he turned around, and his 100-year-old Czechoslovakian copy of a Stradivarius violin was missing.

"When I saw the violin gone, my heart just dropped," Tatum told ABC affiliate KOMO News. "I had this feeling that something terrible just happened."

Tatum has been playing the violin since kindergarten, according to Lt. Cammock. The teen earned a scholarship to perform in New York this summer.

"I got a scholarship to a two-week camp and… I do not have a violin and I don't have the money to get a new one right now," Tatum told KOMO.

Officers searched for the violin immediately following the theft.

A New Mexico police officer and four good Samaritans are being credited with saving the life of an 8-year-old girl by lifting an SUV off her.

Newly released dash cam video taken from the cruiser of New Mexico State Police Officer Steve Nunez shows the officer taking action after he discovered the girl trapped under the roof of a black Ford sports utility vehicle around 8 a.m. on May 8.

The girl, who, according to local reports, was not wearing a seat belt when the SUV overturned, was found laying face down with the roof of the SUV covering three quarters of her body.

After Nunez was unable to lift the vehicle using a jack, he flagged down passing motorists as he continued to monitor the young girl, according to authorities.

"At that moment he thought that the girl actually appeared to stop breathing and then she gasped again," New Mexico State Police Sgt. Emmanuel Gutierrez told l ABC News affiliate KOAT.

At just 15 years old, Charlotte Brown has learned to fly - with a pink pole vault.

She's not just the best pole vaulter Emory Rains High School, in Emory, Texas, has ever had, Charlotte is one of the best in the nation. She's cleared 11 feet, 6 inches. And at the Texas state championships last week, the sophomore took eighth place - to a standing ovation.

What's most amazing, however, is that Charlotte is legally blind. She said her vision was like looking down the inside of little black straws.

"I can't really make up a blur even," she told ABC News. "It just blends in for me."

She frightened her parents, Ian and Stori Brown, when she told them that she'd like to try to jump.

"I said, 'I have some concerns,'" Ian said.

"We never told her no," Stori said. "We never told her she couldn't do something, that we weren't going to sign her up for an activity or a sport."

At 16 weeks old, Charlotte started losing her sight. Doctors didn't know why. She endured several surgeries. Doctors

Visiting a gynecologist for the first time can be awkward and embarrassing for some teens. But the visit is crucial to help them understand their bodies and lay the groundwork for future health and wellness.

The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends the first visit should be between the ages of 13 to 15. The exam should be an opportunity to educate teens about their bodies and help them establish a relationship with a gynecologist at an early age.

What to Expect

The first visit is an opportunity for teens to get accurate information about the changes in their bodies. A gynecologist will discuss acne, painful or irregular periods, breast changes, pelvic pain, body hair, nutrition, sexual behavior, contraception and sexually transmitted diseases. It is also an opportunity to talk about preexisting conditions and any family history of cancer.

Beyond talking, the visit might also include a breast exam, pelvic exam and a pap test, which screens for

A Wisconsin man survived a bear attack thanks to his wife's unique use of a shotgun.

Gerre Ninnemann, 74, and his wife, Marie Ninnemann, 71, from Green Bay, Wis., were at a cabin in Silver Cliff, Wis., on Wednesday afternoon when the husband saw a 200 pound black bear pursuing their golden retriever, Maddie, according to ABC affiliate WBAY-TV.

"Apparently, his dog was barking," Lt. Jim Albright of the Marinette County Sheriff's Department told ABCNews.com. "When he checked on his dog, he saw the bear and went to get the bear away from his dog."

It worked, but the bear turned around and headed for Gerre Ninnemann, Albright said.

"I was so afraid the bear was going to get the dog," he told WBAY. "I didn't take time to go inside and get a gun so there I am unarmed and facing an insane bear."

Albright said Gerre Ninnemann was able to get away from the bear, but the bear tackled and pinned him to the ground a second time and proceeded to bite his neck and claw his back.

Bill Gates has regained his title as richest man in the world after five years out of the top spot, beating Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim.

The net worth of Gates, founder of Microsoft and co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, hit a five-year high on Thursday at $72.7 billion, topping that of Slim, 73, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Gates last held the title, which has also been held by Berkshire Hathaway chairman and CEO Warren Buffett, five years ago.

Though Gates, 57, is still chairman of Microsoft, he only owns about 5 percent of it, reports Forbes. Microsoft shares are up 28 percent this year. Bloomberg figures that Gate's fortune has risen 15 percent this year.

Slim's net worth has dropped about $3 billion due to regulatory issues with his company, America Movil SAB, the largest mobile-phone operator in the Americas, according to Bloomberg. The Mexican government passed a law earlier this month reforming the telecommunication industry by

Chef Claus Hjortkjaer, owner of Le Café Miche in Albuquerque, N.M., had long forgotten about the Valentine's Day in 1997 when he had given one his patrons, a young man, $40 to help cover the bill he couldn't afford while attempting to impress his date.

But apparently the young man, who remains anonymous, never forgot the chef's good deed and, 16 years later, made it a point to return the favor.

"I didn't remember him until he told me the story," Hjortkjaer told GoodMorningAmerica.com. "But people change in their looks after 16 years."

Hjortkjaer, 55, had even closed his original restaurant about five or six years ago, but just recently got an opportunity to reopen. And as shocking as it was, one of his very first customers was the young man waiting to repay him.

"The first day I reopen this guy shows up in a suit and tie and looks over me, and I'm in the kitchen cooking, and he

A Houston property owner has installed headstones as part of a convoluted plot to keep vagrants from loitering on his land.

Three headstones were installed about a year ago in a grassy lot of land that sits in the shadow of Houston's skyscrapers, at the corner of Houston Avenue and North Memorial Way. Fernando Villa, a tow truck driver, told ABC station KTRK that he witnessed the installation of the phony headstones.

"I saw them putting a fence up, and about maybe two to three months later, the headstones are put up," Davilla said. "I knew what it was. I didn't see any burials or anything. There were no bodies there. But it's to keep the vagrants out of here because they were always sleeping right there."

But it turns out the headstones, which were rejects from a local monument company inscribed with "Johnny Mack Chappell," "Dee Brown Hancock, 1922-1973," and "Sandra Ruth Howen, 1939-1986? - were for real people.

The owner of the property, who spoke anonymously with
