Car Theft Suspect Waves to Hollywood Walk of Fame Tourists During Chase

A slow speed chase turned bizarre as the driver waved to tourists on the Walk of Fame Thursday evening.

Authorities began pursuing a suspected stolen vehicle in the Valley area Thursday evening as the driver weaved on and off the 101 Freeway, heading north and southbound.

Authorities said the driver may have taken the car after someone left the keys in the sedan.

After the driver exited the 101 Freeway and headed down Hollywood Boulevard, the driver began waving to tourists as they snapped photos.

After many attempts by the Los Angeles Police Department to throw spike strips in front of the sedan, the driver was finally removed from the car and taken down.

In an odd twist, the car apparently ran out of gas. Officers were forced to push the sedan down the boulevard.
