DA: U-Haul kidnapper hoped to survive end of world

Think Armageddon is near and don't know what to do? Well, you might some take some pointers from Lark Ann Freeman of Fremont, who thought she could be among the survivors by hopping into a U-Haul and conning four men into the vehicle with the promises of money and cigarettes, authorities say.

Freeman, 36, believed the world was going to end in one big earthquake on New Year's Day, said Marin County Deputy District Attorney Linda Witong.

So Freeman got into a U-Haul truck and headed toward Marin County, but not before she kidnapped a 74-year-old man after luring him into the rental truck by telling him she would get him cigarettes in Berkeley, authorities said.

At some point, Freeman picked up three more men and told them she was hiring them as movers, Witong said. She locked them into the back of the U-Haul, prosecutors say.

Everyone ended up at Fort Baker near Sausalito, where Freeman ran a red light at a one-way tunnel in front of a U.S. Park Police car. She led officers on a chase to Rodeo Cove, where she was stopped.

5. Stupid bint

Everyone knows the world is going to end on May 21, not January 1. Now, whether the exact time will be when the International Date Line clicks over past midnight, or we're talking Greenwich Mean Time, or local time in Jerusalem when May 21 arrives (so we got those Mark 13:32 nitpickers covered there), we don't really know. But again, everyone knows that U-Haul is of the devil. For the low, low, introductory price of just $19.95 plus shipping and handling, you can find out why in my book, "gratuitous Explains It All, 'Kay?" Because the cost of shipping and handling will fluctuate with the spot price on the gold market, I will require an indefinite monetary commitment from you. Send your blank check to:
