can someone please explain this to me?

Did anyone else out there see the woman in California who stole a U-Haul, and then proceeded to turn it into a high speed chase? I saw the clip on the news.

I am not sure, but I believe she (yes, it was a SHE) was "on the run" for a little over two hours. Here's my question...

WHERE (the heck) DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!!

Seriously, lady. Reason with me here. You are being followed by cops and media helicopters. The whole world can see you. Where are you going to hide?

So, she's on the run for two hours, and it's nearing the end. She decides to get out of her car while it's still in drive to start running. (Because if you run, they're really going to have trouble catching you.)

So, she's running down the middle of a highway access road and attempts to open the passenger side of someone's car door. (Genius!) It was locked, and they pulled away from her as soon as they realized what was going on. So, logically, she decided to try the next car, but it was too late. Seconds later she was tackled by a policeman, and her runaway efforts proved fruitless. At least for her sake there was a dramatic ending.

I'm just gonna assume that she is a wackjob unless someone can give me a better explanation.
