Did you ever steal a car?

[dantama]

I read a SLC news story today about a 12 year old that went joy riding and crashed his brother's car (brother was out of town).

My first thought was "kids these days" ......followed by, well I probably did similar; 12 felt pretty old when I was 12.

Then I thought some more and I could remember driving the fork lifts and tractors at the orchard I worked at when I was 12-13 when nobody was around.

At 16 there was a jump that you could get pretty good air in a car on in my town. I would steal the car that the Mexicans owned that worked at the orchard and go jump it late at night, then bring it back and park it in the same place.

One of them murdered the bosses son a few years later, didn't know how dumb it was to be stealing their car when I was a teen.

I'd also joy ride another bosses ATV after hours.

I had to rethink my "kids these days" thoughts after thinking back.

This was all when I was a teen, and got me wondering if any of the rest of you have stolen or went for a joy ride as a kid or as an adult.

Fess up, you can stay anonymous :)
