Boy, 5, steals mum's car and drives two miles before realising flaw in escape plan

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 being 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.

He had initially thought the driver was impaired. The five-year-old explained to the confused officer that his parents were at work and his older sibling was watching over him.

But, without his babysitter's knowledge, he had managed to get hold of his parents car keys. And the youngster had only one destination in mind when he set out on his epic escape - California, which is a 12 HOUR drive from his home in Utah.
