“He went that-a-way!”

It was awesome. Star, Sean and I were at an intersection in North Hollywood, and we saw a truck get pulled over. Nothing looked out of the ordinary until the truck jumped the curb, and the driver took off sprinting down the road. Two cops went after him on foot, while one squadcar gave chase. We made our right turn, pulled over, and saw the dude running back down the alley towards Sean’s car. He cut a sharp left and vanished into a neighborhood, while a squad car whizzed past him.

Five seconds later, a wheezing cop emerged from the alley and looked around as the three of us in the car pointed East and told the cop exactly which-a-way the dude went. We expected the cop to take off running to catch the mugger/arsonist/puppykiller, but he just stood dumbstruck, catching his breath.

We spent the rest of our drive to Original Thai hoping that the dude would try to carjack us. This is why I moved to LA.
