Toddler Crashes Dad's Car Twice in Four Days
BERLIN (Reuters) - A motor-mad three-year-old German boy crashed his father's car twice in four days, police in the western town of Borken said on Monday.
Using a ladder, the boy stole the keys to his father's Honda Accord, started the car and plowed it into a nearby Toyota, causing some 5,000 euros ($5,750) of damage but escaping unharmed.
When a television crew came to their home in the town of Bocholt near the Dutch border to reconstruct the incident four days later, the young lad took matters into his own hands.
Sitting behind the wheel with the car key given to him during filming, his urge to drive overtook him again.
"The father was with the television crew," said Borken police spokesman Frank Rentmeister. "The car was in gear and the boy just started up and drove into the car ahead."
The boy was not hurt, but chalked up further damages totaling around 1,000 euros. Police are now investigating the father for criminal negligence.

First of all, by the time I finished whippin' that 3-year-old's behind, he would've been afraid to even look at a car anymore (sorry, but I'm from the old school and that's how it was done with us back in the day--lol). And second of all, why waste time investigatin' the father when he was a dummy for givin' the child the car keys knowin' what the tyke did the first time?!
Juss go on and charge him with neglect, why don'tcha!
