At the day’s end of #1BR we parked our package trucks near #UCLA — and in the middle of the night, one was broken into and stolen.

Thankfully we had a security PA watching the trucks, otherwise #1BR would've been decimated.

PA followed the stolen truck in his car, and called the cops, and a police pursuit on the 405 unfolded, even getting the ghetto bird to join in.

I had about 2 hours sleep before I get a call from the security company saying the cops & PA are following the stolen truck.

The cops picked me up @ 3am, because chase ended East of LA & we had to recover. The cops put me in the back of the car & barrel down the 405 @ 100mph
If you've never been in the back of a cop car, it's just a plastic bench, and there was a shotgun on the other side of the partition cage facing towards the back window and every time we hit a pothole @ 100mph my heart skipped.

Cops caught the baddie & there was minimal damage, but the saving grace was this 19 year old security PA who put his ass on the line for #1BR.

I don't recommend any PA ever do this -- but I'm forever indebted to this fearless kid.

It made the news, so here's video

The process of producing #1BR while dealing with police & insurance really strung me out, so don't run crews @ max capacity because something always happens.

#1BR is on Apple TV & Prime today!
