Justine Betti should see if "Dateline" is hiring. After things kept disappearing from her classmates' backpacks, the Linden (Calif.) High School sophomore decided she had to catch the culprit. But she said she never expected it would be her gym teacher. Betti set up a sting operation that Chris Hansen would've been proud of, stashing herself in a locker and filming as the very popular teacher helped herself to money from her students' wallets.

The teacher has been placed on administrative leave and is under investigation. "Something needed to be done," Betti admitted. "Like, that's not OK." [Source]
