NASCAR Driver and Model Toni Breidinger Robbed in New York, Seeks Help Online
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. NASCAR Truck Series driver Toni Breidinger revealed on X that she was robbed in New York. She took to social media to alert her fans from the Ithaca region in NY to look out for her items in case they were offered for sale on various online platforms. Ahead of the race weekend at Watkins Glen, the Victoria's Secret model revealed that her car had been broken into, and a suitcase with 'TB' written on it was stolen. It contained her personal belongings, including her 818 Tequila and Coach racing suit. It is likely that the person who executed the theft will use the internet to sell these items for a handsome price. As a result, Breidinger urged fans to look out for her items on several platforms such as Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist, and other mediums. She wrote on X: Toni Breidinger, driver of the #5 Sunoco 94 Octane Toyota, waits on the grid prior to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series MillerTech Battery 200 at Pocono Raceway on June 20, 2025 in Long Pond, Pennsylvania....

She started the race from P28, but as she was making moves in the race, a mechanical failure on her Toyota ended her day after huge flames billowed from underneath. Luckily, she was able to steer it safely to the pit road before coming out unharmed. Toni Breidinger's day goes up in flames at Watkins Glen. Caution is out. — FOX: NASCAR (@NASCARONFOX) August 8, 2025 Racing in her first Truck Series season this year with Tricon Garage, Breidinger has been trying hard to improve her performance. While finishing in the top 10 seems like a distant dream, she has finished in the top 20. Acknowledging the steep learning curve she has been going through, Breidinger said in May: "Yeah, there's honestly quite a bit of things that I was kind of surprised by this year. I knew the learning curve was going to be steep, and I knew that I had a lot to learn. But I don't think I realized how much I was going to learn, how much I'm taking away. "Like, after every race, I'm like wow, I feel like a new driver because I've learned so much. So, yeah, almost the unknown of I didn't know how much new stuff I was going to learn. In so many different areas, from the tracks and the truck and the aero. Yeah, I've been learning a lot, and I'm like, I can't believe I've been learning this much. Kind of crazy, but yeah."

Man stole Smokey the Bear signs at parks, sold them for $1,900 each, FL cops say
An unusual crime spree involving stolen Smokey the Bear signs led investigators to discover they were being sold online for as much as $1,900, Florida officials say. The iconic signs, which promote fire safety, were taken from Florida Forest Service lands where dangerous wildfires erupt in dry conditions. 'Our Ag Law Team has a suspect in custody who traveled from Pensacola to Orlando stealing Smoky Bear signs from our state forests and selling them on Facebook Marketplace,' Florida's Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson said in a Facebook post. The 29-year-old suspect lives in Milton in the Florida Panhandle, and was arrested July 30 on 'multiple charges of felony grand theft,' state officials said. He is being held in the Okaloosa County jail on $5,000 bond, records show. Investigators did not reveal how many signs were involved in the case. 'The arrest follows an investigation into the recent thefts of Smokey the Bear signs at Florida Forest Service locations across northwest and central Florida,' the state said in an email to McClatchy News. 'The investigation is ongoing, and additional charges are expected.' Simpson's July 30 Facebook post had more than 2,700 comments and reactions as of July 31, many questioning the wisdom of posting government property for sale online. The post included photos of someone dressed as Smokey the Bear aiding in the arrest. 'Imagine getting arrested by Smokey the Bear,' Taylor Barton wrote on Simpson's Facebook page. 'Sometimes you get the Bear, sometimes the Bear gets you,' Robert Shorback said. The Florida Forest Service manages 38 state forests and one ranch, totaling over 1,185,632 acres. Its mission includes preventing and mitigating forest fires.
