On tour

Chances are that if you escaped from jail and were on the lam, you'd try to remain inconspicuous.  You'd probably steal cars to get as far away as possible.  Chances are that you wouldn't steal a singer's tour bus but that's apparently what one recent escapee in the States has done.  The short-version Yahoo report didn't mention if Crystal Gayle was in the bus when it was stolen, or how soon afterwards they were able to apprehend the escapee. However, since then, I have read the longer report:  she wasn't on the bus, and she expressed concern for the escapee for was trying to reach his terminally ill mother.  As well as the bus, he is suspected of stealing a pick-up truck, then the cab of a tractor-trailer, when he allegedly hooked to a Wal-Mart trailer with $300,000 in merchandise. Even though he parked the truck within 50m of his mother's home, it is unclear if he saw her before his re-capture.
