A cop in a golf cart (complete with little blue light and siren) was in hot pursuit. He was not gaining on the kid. The kid got away by going down some stairs.

The cop gave our group a dirty look when we all busted out laughing. It could have been a Road Runner/Wile Coyote cartoon.
A lot of folks in the Baltimore area would give anything to go back to the days when skateboarding was the biggest crime at the Inner Harbor...
