Be My Baby
Some women hit that thirty-something time of life and go a little crazy. Take, for example, the two who were caught on tape pocketing a plastinated 13-week old fetus at the BodyWorlds2 exhibit at the California Science Center. They absconded with their little bundle of joy around 3am Saturday, when the exhibit was open overnight as part of its closing weekend. Maybe they just couldn't bear to leave emptyhanded — LAist was compelled to purchase a keychain to commemorate our visit to the original BodyWorlds — and we wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't stop singing "The night we met I knew I needed you so." Now the LAPD are on the lookout for a brunette wearing dark clothes and a blonde with a red scarf. Sounds like a tough case to crack; maybe they'll stake out Plastica and see if the pair come in to try to make a sale.
