A California high school student staged an  undercover video sting operation to catch a thief in the act of stealing money  from kids' backpacks. But to her surprise, the footage captured a  teacher rummaging through students' belongings. 

Linden High School sophomore Justine Betti  decided to hide in the locker in hopes of busting the crook who has been  plundering cash from book bags during gym class for the past year.  Determined to obtain definitive proof, the  sophomore concealed herself inside a locker on February 13, this time  armed with a cell phone camera to catch the teacher red-handed.
