A Blues Brothers moment
Sitting next to a first floor window in my sister's flat, I had an excellent view of the busy intersection in front of Brighton Pavilion. Off in the distance I began to hear sirens, and they were getting louder, so I had a look to see what was happening.

A car came hammering down the road toward the end of the T junction, with two police cars in hot pursuit. The fugitive made a pretty damn fine handbrake turn at the bottom, and hared back off back up the same road in the opposite direction. The first cop car attempted to do the same, but didn't have the same Mad Skillz and managed to stall it. Whereupon the second car slammed straight into the side of the first one. Both cars were out of action - villians 2, cops 0!

It was all over in seconds. Even if phone cameras had existed back then, I wouldn't have been able to react fast enough. Which was a shame.

No cardboard boxes,
no crates of oranges?
Yeah, this never happened.

It's only cardboard boxes when they're chasing down an alleyway

Fair point.
Some street vendor should have lost his livelihood, though.
