A mischievous 6-year-old Michigan boy was recently busted taking his family’s car out for a morning joyride to get Chinese food. Wow, he must’ve been reallyhungry.
Apparently, the unidentified child wanted more of the food he’d eaten the night before for dinner. So at 6 a.m., he took the car and drove off, somehow managing to get all the way to the restaurant safely. Unfortunately for him, the place was closed … but his adventure still didn’t stop there.
On his way back from the restaurant, the young boy hit a traffic sign and decided to make his way to a repair shop before heading home. Jeez! Well, at least we know he didn’t have malicious intentions and was actually trying to be responsible in his own bizarre way.
Other drivers spotted the vehicle swerving down the highway and dialed 911 before cornering him into a turnaround until police arrived. By the time officers got there, the boy was about three miles from his home and had already pulled the keys out of the ignition.

“I don’t know how he was able to operate everything and see at the same time,” Sapp said. “Apparently, he was close enough that he could reach the pedals.”
The boy told police he learned how to drive from watching his dad, who reportedly had no clue his son had taken his car and was woken up at his home by another deputy to go pick him up.
I know it was extremely dangerous for him to take the car, but I kind of feel like I have to give this kid credit for being so amazingly fearless. When I first started driving at 16, I was terrified. Still, I’m just glad that he’s okay and that no one was injured on his ride. Hopefully, his parents have learned to hide the car keys from now on…and will maybe take him more seriously when he says he wants seconds at dinner!
