A thief would have to run pretty far to get away from Judy Brenner, a 70-year-old clerk in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, USA.
Brenner sprinted about 30 meters to catch a teen she thought stole liquor from the store where she works in Wolfeboro.
Brenner, who ran the Boston Marathon this month, discovered the teenager had a half-gallon (1.9 liters) of whiskey under his jacket. She and others who joined the chase helped detain him until police arrived.

"He didn't run, but he walked faster, so I picked up my pace," Brenner said. "I wasn't going to let him go."
Brenner, from Brookfield, New Hampshire, said she ran 14 marathons decades ago and finished the Boston Marathon in April in just over five hours, placing sixth among the women who were about her age.
The teen was charged with theft and having alcohol while being underage.

小偷可能得跑很遠，才能甩掉美國新罕布夏州沃菲波洛市的七十歲店員茱蒂．布蘭納。
在沃菲波洛市一家商店工作的布蘭納為了逮住一名疑似在店內偷酒的青少年，拔腿狂追了快三十公尺。
這個月剛參加波士頓馬拉松賽的布蘭納發現，這名青少年的夾克裡藏了一瓶半加崙（一點九公升）的威士忌，她和其他合力追捕的民眾在警方抵達前協力將他留置。
布蘭納說：「他沒有跑，不過卻愈走愈快，因此我加快步伐，我不打算就這麼放了他。」
來自新罕布夏州布魯克菲爾德的布蘭納表示，幾十年前她參加過十四場馬拉松賽，而且四月份才以五個多小時的成績跑完波士頓馬拉松賽，在女子長青組中名列第六。
這名青少年後來以竊盜及未成年飲酒的罪名遭到起訴。（美聯社／翻譯：林倩如）
Computex, Asia’s biggest electronics conference, kicked off Monday in Taipei, and as in years past drew industry chieftains from Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang and Qualcomm Inc.’s Cristiano Amon to Young Liu of Foxconn, which makes the bulk of the world’s iPhones and Nvidia servers. But while last year’s event was a celebration of the post-ChatGPT AI boom, executives this time are likely grappling with the uncertainty of the Trump administration’s effort to reshape the global trade order — disrupting a decades-old model for tech manufacturing. This year’s exhibition will of course feature the hardware required to bring artificial intelligence to life.
For many people, allergies are an all-too-familiar annoyance. The constant sneezing, itching, and watery eyes are just a few clear signs of allergies, which is a surprisingly common condition affecting millions worldwide. But what exactly triggers these reactions, and how can we cope with them? Allergies arise from a misunderstanding between our immune system and seemingly harmless substances. Under normal circumstances, the immune system acts as our body’s personal bodyguard, diligently identifying and eliminating threats like viruses and bacteria.
