7-Year-Old Takes Father's Truck Keys, Tries To Drive To Day Care

from wftv.com ..... ENTERPRISE, Ala. -- A 7-year-old who apparently wanted to play with friends couldn't wait. He drove off in his father's truck, eventually running it into a ditch before police officers managed to coax him out of the vehicle.
The boy was driving the big, dual-wheel truck erratically along Highway 27 when other drivers called police Thursday morning, saying they couldn't see anyone behind the wheel.

The boy apparently got the keys while his father, who was not identified, was sleeping, and he was trying to drive to an Enterprise day care center, police said.

Capt. Mike Lolley said the boy was near a convenience store when the vehicle swerved into a ditch.

The boy rolled up the windows and locked the doors as police approached. He pressed the gas pedal and the truck sent mud and dirt flying but didn't move.

Officers coaxed him out by telling the child they would take him to play with his friends, then took him to the police station.

...Then the police bought a load of beer, stole the truck, went bombing it down the highway, singing "show me the way to go home". Unfortunately they ran out of petrol pretty quickly, so they stopped at an old garage. The garage was deserted so they went inside and started playing Twister throughout the night...
