Two husky youths aged 16 and 17 visited Hollywood studios by a simple ruse. They buy a single long board, carry it through a side or rear gate, and wander the lots freely until they must leave the lumber behind when returning home. They were nearly arrested for attempting to leave a studio with their own board, which led to the discovery of the scheme.
