Kids Steal Real Car to Go Buy Toy Car
Kids Steal Real Car to Go Buy Toy Car-January 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:56

The blurry back of a Toyota Vios on a dark road in Malaysia. A motor bike follows close behind.

Kids today, am I right? Coddled so much they don’t even in the right order. Take for example the six-year-old and his three-year-old brother, who jacked their parents car in order to drive to the toy store to buy a toy car.

Like, just steal the toy car at this point! You’re already driving without a license and committing grand theft auto after all. Or better yet, forget the toy car, you have a full-size one now! The joyride ran for 1.5 miles on the Malaysian island of Langkawi Wednesday late at night. Police scooped up the two after they crashed their mom’s Toyota Vios into a lamp pole, from :

Langkawi police chief Shariman Ashari said the car they were driving, a silver Toyota Vios, had attracted the attention of other drivers who gave chase because they assumed the driver had been “drunk.”

He said the boys had sneaked out of their home while their “mother was in the bathroom and father was asleep” and taken the vehicle. They had traveled about 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) before the crash, which damaged the car’s bonnet, Shariman added.

“The driver was a minor aged six, who was driving a passenger – his brother, aged three. The crash occurred when the car, traveling from Ulu Melaka towards Kampung Nyior Chabang, lost control and crashed into a lamppost near Kampung Titi Chanwang,” Shariman said.

The toy store probably wasn’t even open. Were they gonna ram into the store, find the toy and then leave money on the counter? Probably! It’s like they weren’t thinking ahead at all. Did they even do recon?

Luckily neither the kids, nor anyone else, were terribly injured in the crash, though the 6-year-old suffering a scratch on his chin. Police are investigating the incident as a reckless driving case, which is a tad unfair. Sure their heist made no sense, but a 6-year-old made it a mile and half and only hurt himself. It’s , but its gotta count when it comes to sentencing time.

Dany Bahar's Coachbuilding Company Will Hack Your C8 Corvette Into A Gorgeous Supercar
By all accounts, Chevrolet’s new mid-engine Corvette is an instant hit. It drives great, punching way above its tax bracket. But, and it’s a big but, the C8-generation Corvette is hardly a looker. It’s a little too wannabe Ferrari and not enough standalone icon. If you’ve got enough scratch...

Florida Person Finds A 10-Foot Python In A Mustang's Engine
I think we all know the real problem with this story: it’s not that there was a colossal, ten-foot snake coiled in the engine bay of this Floridian’s Ford Mustang. It’s Florida, there’s going to be giant snakes in things. No, the problem here is that the Mustang in...
