Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAs we told you earlier, a passenger stole a tug at the Orange County airport.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWhat's new: KTLA reports video shows the man running onto the tarmac and driving off.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorVideo, Gloria! So there is footage of a grown adult sprinting toward a baggage tractor like it owed him money.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have been chased out of airports by officials. Never once did I have a getaway vehicle with a top speed of a golf cart.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSlowest chase in history! The cops probably just jogged alongside him, eating a pretzel and asking about his feelings.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNeither outlet says why he did it. Patch and KTLA agree only that it happened, and that the tug has not filed a statement.
