Eight-year old nicks teacher's motor
 

Grand Theft Auto blamed for kid's break into crime

GRAND THEFT AUTO has been blamed for getting an eight-year old kid interested in car crime.

The nipper has entered his town's history books as the youngest ever car criminal, after he swiped his teacher's keys and drove her minivan around town.

The boy from Modesto, California is the smallest in his class at only four-feet tall. He adjusted the driver's seat and lowered the steering wheel before adjusting his rear-view mirror and turning off the radio. He drove the vehicle home and parked it outside his house.

The young offender was spotted by a neighbour who called the local plod.

Police say they have had words with the boy, and he will not be charged. The boy's mum said that the kid's favorite video game is "Grand Theft Auto" and he probably just wanted to see what it was like to drive for real. More here.
