*Approaches street corner where the nearby Pokemon Go gym is, because it's there and vulnerable*
*What appears to be the tail end of a police chase ensues; a car comes spilling out of that intersection and the immediately pulls over, flanked by four or five police cars who do the same. Sirens are blaring. One officer gets out of his car, draws and points his weapon at the non-officer car, and starts barking orders at its driver*
Me: O_O
You know, now that I really stop and think about it, maybe I didn't need the extra coins and gym experience that badly.

I didn't run, because I wasn't quite close enough for anyone on either side of the exchange to look over and notice me, and I kind of wanted to keep it that way. But I definitely turned around and very briskly walked right back the way I came like I was a Last Unicorn character escaping the harpy Celaeno.
