Luckily, the guy made things easier for the gendarmes by hopping a bus that was coming TOWARD them. They stopped the vehicle and arrested him -- just another suspect who needs to work more on his getaway strategy.

Instant justice?
Sylvia Sullivan of Thousand Oaks read the headline of a local paper and concluded it was a case of no judge, no jury. Guess they're really tired of lawyers up there!

A little privacy, please:
Outside a chiropractor's office, Daniel Cook of Santa Ana saw an offer apparently aimed at voyeurs.

One chase you won't see on "Cops":
When Claremont police tried to pull over a 19-year-old who was weaving down the road, he merely "waved at them," the Claremont Courier reported. A low-speed chase ensued. At least, it was "low-speed" from the officers' point of view -- he was on a skateboard.
They arrested him for public intoxication.
Said columnist David Allen of the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin: "As a citizen of Claremont, I'm relieved this pursuit ended before police had to lay down the spike strips."

Armand Vaquer chanced upon the menu for a sushi shop that seems to have a low regard for its L6 item.

Cheap dates:
Philippe's, the French dip emporium in L.A.'s Chinatown, held a 100th birthday celebration on Oct. 6 by offering food at the century-old prices of 10 cents for a sandwich and a nickel for a cup of coffee. (Normally, Philippe's charges an outrageous 10 cents for java.)
Lately, columnist Tim Grobaty of the Long Beach Press-Telegram has been receiving e-mails telling him that In-N-Out would observe its 60th anniversary on Oct. 22 by selling burgers for a quarter and drinks for a dime.
Hold that order!
Grobaty checked with In-N-Out and found it's a hoax. "We don't discount," a spokesman told him. "We never have." I love a business with proud traditions.
