They're big, they're bad, and they're bloated:
Three pregnant teens living in a group home whacked the director in the head with a frying pan, tied her up and then fled in a stolen minivan, police said.The director, who was tied up with power cords Tuesday, eventually broke free and called police, police Sgt. Shauna Greening said. She also freed another pregnant teen tied up in the attack, she said.
Authorities believed the teens -- two 15-year-olds and one 16-year-old -- left the state and a search was under way. Police said the teens also stole the director's purse, checkbook, credit cards, cell phone and video camera.
The motive wasn't clear. Parents of the girls, who are from California, Texas and Illinois, were notified, police said.
I imagine they took the video camera in case they needed to film the miracle of birth. The authorities should be able to catch up to the van soon enough -- all those bathroom stops will cut into the girls' fleeing time for sure.

Then again, I have to admit, this latest caper is certainly "a gripping puzzle of pursuit and escape"!
Oh, sorry. Did I just accidentally quote the tagline from the 1974 smash-hit movie, "The Odessa File" -- starring, um, John Voigt?
How careless of me.
