A five-year-old boy stole his parents’ car after his mum refused to buy him a Lamborghini and managed to drive two miles before he was pulled over by the police. The Utah Highway Patrol officer who stopped him couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a five-year-old sitting in the driver's seat. At first, he thought the driver was with health problem as he saw the car going about 30 miles per hour at the time.

The five-year-old boy explained to the confused officer that his parents were at work and his older brother was watching over him. But without his brother's knowledge, he managed to get hold of his parents car keys. And the boy had only one place in mind when he set out on his great escape—California, which is a 12-hour drive from his home in Utah. And why California? To buy himself his dream supercar with only $3 in his pocket.

The young boy made it two miles before being pulled over by highway officer Rick Morgan. Rick said, “He was upset with tears in his eyes and his answer was only one short word. His parents said that he had not driven before, this was the first time that he did anything like this.” Thankfully, he was not injured, nor was anybody else.
