A call came into Jimmy Gilleece’s bar.A newly married woman,who had spent the afternoon at his bar, couldn’t find her wallet.She didn’t care about her ID,credit cards,or150in cash-but her wedding ring was inside.

Gilleece,42,didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place.So he determined to find the wallet.He spent hours on videos from surveillance(监控)cameras,watching the woman’s every step in the bar. Within minutes,a young man approached the bar,put something in his pocket,and walked off.

Gilleece told the teen to meet him at the docks(码头).There they talked a lot and Gilleece knew that Prather was from a poor family.Seeing the teenager’s small build,Gilleece thought he was more of a kid than a criminal. However,because of the missing ring,Prather could be put into prison.

This season,the bushfires in Australia have burned more than12.35million acres of land.At least25people have been killed and2000homes destroyed.According to the BBC,this is the most casualties(伤亡)from wildfires in the country since2009.The University of Sydney estimates that480million animals have died in South Wales alone.

Australia’s fires were worsened by the combination of those two.2019was the perfect storm for being the warmest year on record for Australia and the driest year on record for Australia,”Hausfather added on Friday.
