Those "vehicles" were probably bicycles. I definitely could see it taking 17 hours; that's a lot of pedaling on those white Bridgestones.

Maybe he was armed, held himself hostage and the cops, as usual, didn't have any bullets in their guns. :lol:

It'd be cheaper for the cops to let him go and give 40,000 yen to the store that was robbed... :roll: They could get the money from Blinky's pension fund...
