The woman in this video, Tina Teixeira of Lodi, California, must be grieving intensely over the loss of her cat last week in a hit and run just beyond her front yard. Because if grief isn’t the reason for her actions, then I don’t know what is.

This is Criss Angel, magician, “mindfreak,” and alleged cat thief.
Two years ago, fellow Las Vegas performer Jeff Beacher inherited his parents’ cat, Hamlet, after their deaths. Distraught and living in a hotel, he asked a friend to temporarily care for the cat. Allow Mr. Beacher’s lawyer to explain what happened next:
