Growing up hearing “Wikipedia isn't a valid source” and then entering a workplace where people say “just ask ChatGPT” is a surprisingly strange timeline
A couple in California spent five months intentionally luring bike thieves into their front yard with an unlocked bicycle, beating them with aluminum baseball bats, and posting the videos online.
Corey Cornutt, 25, and Savannah Grillot, 29, of Visalia were arrested in January 2020 on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy, in connection with at least four beatings between July and November 2019.
Police said the couple planted a bicycle in the front yard unsecured and waited.
Once someone tried to steal it, both rushed out and assaulted them with a baseball bat.
The videos they posted made the prosecution straightforward.
A neighbour told reporters there would be blood on the street the next day after each incident, and had warned the couple:
"Maybe it's not the best idea you're kind of bringing people into the neighbourhood that might not be here otherwise."
They ignored her and continued.
In each case the victims received various non-life-threatening injuries.
The couple documented their own crimes in enough detail to guarantee their arrest.
