Saw a high speed chase last night
I was coming back from cleaning my old apartment in sf last night, to my new place in oakland - and noticed a helicopter with its lights on and i invariably made a sarcastic comment about oakland - and then i realized it was coming my way - and sure enough here comes a white pt cruiser fullblast down powell, near hollis - followed by about 5 cop cars and a helicopter to boot. It was hilariously bizarre.
Anyone else witness this or hear anything about its outcome?

nuts. I had that one in Watsonville...bank robber. Come up right behind me. Scared the **** out of me. I probably could have made the guy wreck and ended the chase right there but I didn't know WTF was going on.
Happened to me a few times.
In fremont like 8 years ago...fremont bank got robbed. I worked at the chevron on the corner and was walking to the atm this guy damn near runs me over. I was like..WTF bro. Then stared at him as he ran away in a red clown wig.
I then walk over to safeway and buy a sandwhich. Lady is like..did you hear. Fremont Bank just got robbed.........by a guy in clown wig.
Third time was when I live in pleasanton in like 91'. Freakin helicopter right on top of my house. Woke me up in the middle of the night. Light directily on my bedroom window. My aunt comes running in yelling at me. WTF did you do this time...get the F' out of my house...etc... I'm like I didn't do anything.
Turns out a friend of mine escaped from jail or some sort of law enforcement or some crap and ran through my yard to hide......I had a wooden storage type deal next to my weight set outside. I didn't know for a while. Guess they caught him a couple days later or something....don't remember. Weird.
oh.....and nothing in the oakland news that I can find yet.

best highspeed chase story ever
In 1979 my dad bought a brand new panel van to haul around his dirtbike (a bul taco!
) - and he went into albertsons to get some booze and whatnot for the impending date with my mom that night, which was coincedentally the first night he owned the van - but when he came out his van was STOLEN!
So, he called my mom, and they ended up just watching tv all night, but when the news came on there was a story about a highspeed chase that day involving a bank robbery, a high speed chase, and a shoot out. Of course while watching it my dad realized it was his brand new van in the chase - and watched the helicopter footage much like you would watch your favorite sports team. In the end the van was totalled, shot full of holes, splattered with blood - then handed back to him without any compensation whatsoever.
luckily the bultaco survived.

last year fremont.
the blockbuster by american HS. i was picking up my truck right next door at that repair place.
as i was pulling out, i saw a fremont PD car slowing backing up onto the sidewalk. i'm all, WTF?
as i slowly drove up fremont blvd, i see about 5 or 6 fremont PD officers scrunch down in from of the BB...
then it hit me, that place was getting rob.
a few days later, i went to the BB in newark and as i was ckecking out with a movie, i asked about that store. they confirmed it was robbed. something like they shoved all the employees in the tiny bathroom...
