Boy Takes Cruiser For Sunday Drive… Two Of Them

A 13-year-old in South Carolina stole a cop car (not pictured) from his local police department two Sundays in a row, did some patrolling, and returned the car. The enterprising teen, who has "an interest in law enforcement," used a building entry code he’d seen one of the officers use to get to where the car keys were stored, then took off with the cruiser. Curiouser still: when the boy brought the car home to mom, she didn’t see anything wrong with her son’s borrowing, and went about her business. And best quote from Metro.co.uk’s article on the incident: "In a true ‘that’s some fine police work there, Lou’ moment, none of the officers noticed it was missing." It took a neighbor calling the cops to get the situation addressed, and both mom and son were booked, with the boy remaining custody at the juvenille detention center. Hey, if he’s considering going into police work, the hands-on experience will probably do him good!
