The way he ran is: http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=55.400016,10.386647&daddr=Rug%C3%A5rdsvej+37,+5000+Odense,+Denmark&hl=en&ie=UTF8&sll=55.399684,10.376866&sspn=0.008091,0.024827&geocode=FVBWTQMd13yeAA%3BFWJSTQMdODGeACm3EUEr5N9MRjE4bMX2OY-j3Q&mra=ls&dirflg=w&t=h&z=16&lci=com.panoramio.all It show that stealing is a good motivator.
