A Marine who worked for me did that to his Dad's pologreen C4.

His father disowned him, he became homeless and joined the Marine Corps.

That's what happens when there is NO FEAR FACTOR or RESPECT at home.

She said that "she was very upset about the car". VERY UPSET would not be the words that I would have used. Lucky the kid was not seriously hurt. If he was mine his rear would be seriously hurt.

This is the result of a parenting issue rather than a "better key hiding" issue

Or just have a manual instead of a auto. Then he wouldnt have been able to drive it. I am making a few assumptions of course but common. I have a kill switch wired anyway. No one is driving my car without me.

Typical accurate news reporting: "'1996 Corvette T-top".

That kid needs a good dose of whup-***. Shoulda had it before,
should get it in spades now.

You couldn't pay me enough $ to have 'em. If he was my kid, he'd wished he was dead instead of facing my wrath!

I would make the choice of 1. prosecute the brat for grand theft auto, or 2. beat dat *** and put him in the hospital with some real injuries.
