Sometimes hiding in the most obvious place is the best place to hind because no one will think to look there. But, I don't think that it is true in this case.

A guy robbed a building in Washington D.C. yesterday, and took off running from the cops.  About a block later, he tried to get away by hopping a fence.

The WHITE HOUSE fence.

Obviously he did NOT get away . . . the Secret Service quickly swarmed and took him down.

President Obama was actually in the White House at the time, so the entire place had to be locked down until they made sure the guy wasn't a threat.

His name and the charges he's facing haven't been released, but he was handed over to the police. (Washington Post)
