Remember the video rental store? My favorite childhood memories were going to Magic Movies in Midwest City every Friday. We'd get to pick out one tape after having pizza at the Mazzio's next door. The store would be in a strip mall, next to a tanning salon, and there might've been a beaded curtain leading to a forbidden room. You'd pluck the plastic tab from the box, take it to the counter, and then get a movie you'd watch three times over the weekend.
But if you didn't take it back in time, you'd suffer punishing late fees. If you never took it back, they'd sometimes hunt you down like vicious creditors. As it turns out, 20 years later you can still get busted. Two cases have popped up over the last week. From Fox25:
