In April 2021, local, national international news outlets published a remarkable crime story, reporting that a woman living in Texas had faced a felony embezzlement charge over an unreturned “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” video tape that was rented from a video store in Oklahoma more than 20 years earlier.
On April 22, Oklahoma television station KOKH published an article with the headline “Oklahoma woman charged with felony for not returning VHS tape 21 years ago” stating that:
A former Oklahoma resident is facing felony embezzlement charges for not returning a VHS tape rented in Norman more than two decades ago. Online documents show Caron McBride is a wanted woman for never returning ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ on VHS tape in 1999.
