Cook County jewelry store heist: Thieves get away with $1M in merchandise
The Brief Thieves broke through a wall to rob Rick Kleinvehn Diamond Brokers in South Barrington over Mother's Day weekend. Police say the suspects used a vacant office to cut a hole in the wall and enter the business. About $1 million in jewelry and watches were stolen; the store owner is offering a $75,000 reward. COOK COUNTY - A jewelry store in South Barrington is asking for the public's help after thieves broke in over Mother's Day weekend and stole about $1 million worth of product. What we know The burglary happened at Rick Kleinvehn Diamond Brokers, where police say suspects used a neighboring vacant office to break through a wall and gain access to the store undetected.

The store's owner believes the break-in was carefully planned, given how precisely it was carried out. What they're saying The suspects made off with a significant amount of merchandise—worth about $1 million—including jewels and watches. "I was devastated," owner Rick Kleinvehn said. "We have a great staff here. We all work very hard and we travel across the country constantly and to replace everything in there is tens of thousands of hours of work. It's a lot of lost time and money." What's next Kleinvehn is offering a $75,000 reward for information in the case. Anyone with information is urged to contact South Barrington police.

Teen jumps in to help Burger King coworkers on his graduation night and is rewarded with big donations
Donations pour in for teen who helped coworkers at Burger King after graduation Dacula, Georgia — At a Burger King in Dacula, Georgia, 18-year-old Mykale Baker is known for his whopper of a work ethic. He shows up early, stays late, and looks at every shift like a privilege. "I like helping people and not expecting anything back from it," Baker told CBS News. "That's just me." That work ethic created some good karma for Baker. "I knew that all the good I put out there is going to come back to me somehow," Baker said. Baker's high school graduation night arrived in May. He left the ceremony and dropped by Burger King for a late meal. That is when he noticed his colleagues were absolutely swamped with orders. At this point, most teens would have just been glad they had the night off and been on their way. But instead, Baker did what Baker does. "I wasn't even clocked in," Baker said. "I just put gloves on and said, 'What do you all need help with?'" So, with his graduation sash and medals still draped around his neck, Baker hopped on the line. The whole thing was caught on camera by customer Maria Mendoza, who just could not believe her eyes. "There's not a lot of people who are like that," Mendoza said. "…Thirteen years of school, you graduate. The last thing I would think is somebody would go to work!" Mendoza was so impressed, that she posted the video online and started a crowdfunding campaign to reward Baker for his integrity and dedication. The campaign has raised more than $200,000. Baker plans to use that money to go trade school become a master auto mechanic and eventually open his own shop. The Burger King Foundation later surprised Baker with $10,000. The foundation also gave Mendoza $10,000 for her daughter, Daizie, who also just graduated high school. Baker said his mother, Demeshiah Scott, always taught him to work hard, even if you think no one is watching, because you never know when someone is.

GoFundMe for teen who jumped in to work at Burger King on his graduation night tops $200,000
Contributors have given more than $200,000 to a high school graduate who jumped in to help coworkers at Burger King while still wearing his graduation apparel. His story went viral via a TikTok video. Burger King has separately given him a $10,000 scholarship. On May 21, Mykale Baker graduated from Mill Creek High School in a suburb of Atlanta. He might have known it was a day that would change his life when he woke up, but he absolutely didn't know the extent of that change. After the ceremony, Baker and his parents went to the local Burger King to grab dinner. Baker had worked there since February to save money for college and the family could eat at a discount. When they walked in, though, the place was booming—and there were only three employees trying to juggle cooking the food and handling customer orders. Baker volunteered to help and got straight to work, while still wearing his graduation medals and sash. A bit later, Maria Mendoza pulled up to the drive-thru and spotted Baker. She shot a video of him hard at work and posted it on TikTok, where it went viral. People asked how they could help Baker with his college expenses, so Mendoza launched a GoFundMe campaign. As of Friday morning, that campaign has gathered over $201,000 in pledges. 'While many graduates spent the night celebrating with friends and family, one young man quietly showed the world what determination looks like,' Mendoza wrote. Mendoza and Baker didn't know each other. She happened to be at the restaurant to pick up food for a party celebrating her own daughter's graduation from Mill Creek. Baker wasn't aware of the video or the fundraiser until three days later, when Mendoza spoke with the manager at Burger King, asking to meet Baker. The fundraiser, at the time, had collected $6,000. 'I didn't realize she was recording me,' Baker told The Washington Post. 'I felt very happy. I was surprised; I had never seen that much money in my life. … I'm very thankful to everyone who has donated and supported me through this journey.' Beyond the money raised via the GoFundMe, Burger King has presented Baker with a $10,000 scholarship—as well as a $10,000 scholarship for Mendoza's daughter. Baker had planned to take a gap year to save up for college. Now, he says, he has applied to a technical college and plans to study automotive technology this fall, with plans to become a mechanic. Until then, though, he plans to keep working at Burger King. 'I just love working,' he said. 'The people I work around make the job more fun.' This story was originally featured on
