A PRIDE of cheeky lions decided to get their 15 minutes of fame by stealing a GoPro. Lions from the Avoca pride at Makanyi Lodge in Kruger National Park, South Africa, nonchalantly strolled up to the camera - before one of the cats decided to put the camera in its jaws. Park ranger Massimo Da Silva placed his GoPro camera near the majestic animals hoping to capture some unique footage, however it did not go according to plan. Hoping to outsmart the lions, Massimo attached his camera set-up to a length of fishing nylon for a quick retrieval - but failed to account for their quick reflexes. Massimo was left shocked when the two big cat burglars easily took the GoPro to the rest of their pride.
While there is a seemingly endless number
of companies issuing auto insurance policies
these days, there are really just two ways to
buy car insurance: You can purchase a
policy in-person through an agent -- a
licensed individual who sells policies on
behalf of one or more insurance companies
-- or you can buy directly from an insurer via
Web site or telephone.Buying car insurance
online still accounts for a relatively small
portion of total auto insurance sales, but it's
increasing in popularity. According to a 2011
survey by the Internet marketing research
company ComScore, just 20 percent of new
auto insurance policies were purchased
online, compared to 43 percent purchased
from an agent. However, the number of
online purchases represents an increase of 5
percent from just two years earlier, while the
number of agent purchases represents a 6
percent decline. Additionally, a 2011 survey
by J.D. Power and Associates showed that
54 percent of new auto insurance owners
applied for a rate quote online, the first time
this has happened for a majority of
respondents [source: Insurance Information
