Naked nine-year-old caught on camera stealing car!

What is the world coming to these days? I was doing some basic cleaning of my car, and had returned to my house to get some car polish, when I spied a nine-year-old in the drivers seat, trying to drive off with my Nissan Xterra! I snapped this picture before running down and reminding said nine-year-old that we had only an hour to get some swimming in. Fortunately, I had the keys in my pocket, and he didn't get far. We had a good time swimming, and I turned him over to his mom just in time for his Judo lessons. I'm off to play softball tonight, and hope to get a little MyLotting in before I sleep. Apologies to those whose comments I have not yet responded to. It's been a busy week.

It has a clutch, so he understands it "in theory," but may not be able to drive it for a coupe of years.

Aw...you are so kind...to your car. I was wondering at the fate of its internals should you have chosen to let your roving eyes linger a few moments longer on that blonde police official.

He's a handsome young fella. We worked on the Australian crawl today. It's cute that he still needs my hand beneath his tummy for that one.

@TheHorse sounds like a lovable kid. His hair reminds me of my grandson. His hair is long and reddish.

@Shavkat The boy in the picture? His mom lets him grow his hair long. She's from Europe. I don't know if more boys have long hair there or not.

He's my "pretend son." Also my child laborer. We've known each other since he was three.

@TheHorse Ah, and then as I read on it became evident - that he was just having a laugh. That's cool.

Kids love sitting on that driving seat and pretend. That kid is a boy? His hair is pretty long isn't he!

His parents are from Europe. When his hair gets a bit longer, I'm going to learn how to do a "man bun."

The real question is what happened to his daggone clothes? Or was he stealing the car to get to a Goodwill to buy some? But if he could not afford clothes in the first place, how was he going to buy any? There is so much to this story that is missing.

@TheHorse Are you the Puzzler or the Joker? Of course, enigmas would be more prone to the Puzzler.

I would have handed him the car polish and told him he will have to polish the car to earn the privilege of driving it...in 10 years.

He likes to hop into the driver's set and pretend. Some day soon I will let him sit in my lap and steer the thing. It has a clutch, like cars from the old days.
