Running Man

So the moral of the story is... never stop to brag about your escape.

We just left CVS when a man went running across the parking lot. He had a bag full of stuff and was hauling ass. Then there was another man chasing him. I then recognized the second man. He was the cashier that was at CVS. Apparently, the first guy was trying a grab and run and dashed across a busy street. The CVS employee stopped before crossing (for good reason with all the cars driving in the way). So the guy stops at the gas station across the street and holds up the bag laughing. Then a good samaritan must have realized what he did and tackled the guy at the gas station. The CVS employee makes it across the street and they both have the man on the ground. Wouldn't you know it, there was a cop in the gas station store at that very moment.

So now the guy it in hand cuffs and wishing he hadn't stopped running to brag about his escape. If only I had a video camera at the time. This would have been huge on You Tube.
