Sherwin Shayegan
In this photo made taken from Feb. 4, 2012 security camera footage provided by Bismarck Schools, a man identified as 28-year-old Sherwin Shayegan of Bothell, Wash., dressed in a basketball uniform, stands in a hallway at Century High School in Bismarck, N.D. Dubbed the Piggyback Bandit, Shayegan crashed school sporting events in at least five states from Washington to Minnesota, in some cases coaxing players to give him a piggyback ride.

Carrying groceries
"It's a pain using a taxi," said Erica Thatcher. "It's an extra $15 there and back and the bus isn't practical for carrying lots of grocery bags." Thatcher lives east of the Plaza Super One Foods without a car and is dependent on taxis to transport her to and from the grocery store. Here, she packs groceries into the back of a taxi Monday, Feb. 13, 2012 at the Plaza Super One Foods in Duluth, Minn.
