News from March 16 reports that recently, a 10-year-old elementary school student in Guyuan, Ningxia, took off with a car he found unlocked on the roadside.
After school that afternoon, the boy, doing his usual wanderings on the way home, stumbled upon a sedan parked beside a car wash. The car was unlocked.
Approaching the vehicle, he gently pushed the door open and then did what has now grabbed everyone’s attention - he hopped into the driver's seat and sped off with a press on the gas pedal! The car owner, returning to the car wash to retrieve his car, was stunned to find it missing - a quick look at the CCTV footage left him speechless...
Some netizens, after watching the footage, commented that despite the boy’s tender age of 10, his driving skills, including reversing and using turn signals, were remarkably proficient.
Fortunately, the police were able to locate the car shortly after and get in touch with the owner. However, the vehicle had suffered multiple scratches, causing quite a bit of distress to the owner.
