Sabrina and the Lost VHS Tape

Published: April 27, 2021, 5:17 p.m.

Here’s a “Karen” with something legitimate to complain about. Caron McBride got married… and she quickly did the right thing…. and contacted the DMV  to get her name changed on her drivers license.   DMV emailed back… Caron…  there’s a warrant to your arrest. She had no idea .  Caron called the District Attorney who said… yeah… there’s a warrant alright.  Felony Embezzlement. Caron did not go all Caron.   Because she was so scared she thought it was a heart attack.  She’d never done anything wrong.  Except.  Apparently… 22 years ago… she went to the video store and rented a VHS… and never returned. For our younger listeners VHS stands for Video Home System.   A spooled videotape canister pre-recorded with movies that you’d select in an actual store… for 4 bucks and return to the store the next day. Good citizens would always rewind the tape back to the beginning before returning it    but I digress.   Caron McBride doesn’t remember renting Sabrina the Teenage Witch in 1999.  But Movie Place in Norman Oklahoma never forgot.  They went out of business long ago… but the charges stuck.   CAron McBride now thinks she’s lost jobs over the years because of the felony charge she never knew about. Good news though.  The prosecutor has now dropped the charges… good thing.  because the Movie Place went out of business.  So there’s a crime with no victim.    And somewhere… there’s a copy of Sabrina the teenage witch … that cast a dark spell over a young woman’s life.
