a Friday eve shopping trip to the Beverly Center!

Tim and I were strolling around the Beverly Center doing a little Christmas shopping...we hit Banana Republic, H&M, Bloomingdales and Mrs. Fields...then all of a sudden a bunch of police officers and security guards surrounded us, shoved Tim against the railing and handcuffed him! Apparently a man in a brown jacket with a black scarf robbed a family in Bloomingdales and was on the loose, so why not handcuff a man with a black jacket and a colorful scarf while the killer is roaming the mall!!! The crowds gathered and eventually the family came to ID Tim and he was released back into freedom - quite the holiday spectacle!
P.S. The armed men didn't like me taking these pictures one bit!
