California ID theft risk
A state audit reveals California is exposing millions of people to the risk of identity theft.
This has to do with the Employment Development Department - that's the agency responsible for distributing unemployment, disability and parental leave benefits.

CA man's $2 Babe Ruth card could fetch millions!
A California baseball card collector made quite the find at a store in Nevada.
Dale Ball found a Babe Ruth card that the store owner thought was a fake. He bought the 1921 card for only $2.
He went and got it authenticated by lab testing it against another card from the same era. Now, an auction place says they'd start the bidding at $1.5 million, and it would likely go for nearly $5 million. What a find!
