Bad boys, bad boys

We saw the coolest thing at Target last night. And, no, I'm not talking about the $5 gold sequin ballet flats. When we were walking to the store through the parking lot, a couple of men burst out of a side door and started running. The second one was yelling back toward the store "He's running! This way!" and a bunch of Target employees, security guards and actual city of Columbus police officers started coming out the door. So the two men are running really fast through the lot, the police officers jump into a cruiser to give chase, and a POLICE HELICOPTER appears in the sky with a spotlight on the runner. I think the first guy wised up and stopped running once he saw the cruiser following him and the helicopter had its spotlight on him. We saw the police shove him down on the ground and get handcuffs on him, but then we finally went inside. And when we were in Target, we saw the second runner walking through, so we think he might have been one of those undercover security people that walk through the store looking for shoplifters. It was a pretty gnarly thing to watch. This is the second time I've seen something like that since moving into this neighborhood. The lesson to all the kids out there: a couple free CDs is not worth getting your face shoved into the pavement by 2 annoyed policemen. I'm just saying.

That's pretty cool to witness, especially since you both escaped unscathed.
