Apparently this is news in China (and consequently Boardistan as well):
A burglar tried to flee the scene of his crime on a skateboard but slammed into a wall after a short distance on Oct 22, in Nanjing, Jiangsu province. . . . Around 4.30 am, the thief stole a bag of auto parts from a warehouse and climbed down the wall. . . . As soon as the 30-year-old hit the ground, a security guard in the warehouse tried to capture him. . . . To the sentry’s surprise, the thief jumped on a skateboard and fled. . . .But he was not so adroit on wheels and crashed into a wall and fell, making him an easy catch for the guard.
Haa, haa, haa. Skateboard so funny.
