Joyrider, 10, claims to be a dwarf
Print Edition
A 10-year-old Norwegian boy came up with a novel excuse after he drove his parents’ car into a snowy ditch yesterday morning: He told police he was a dwarf who had forgotten his driving license.
The boy lives near Dokka, a town about 110 kilometers north of Oslo. Sometime before 6am, he loaded his 18-month-old sister into the car and headed for their grandparents in Valdres, about 60km away, police said.
He drove more than 10km before veering off the road. A snowplow driver found him and alerted the police.
“The parents woke up and discovered the children were missing and that someone had taken off with their car. They were pretty upset,” said Baard Christiansen, a spokesman for the Vest Oppland police.
“The boy said he was a dwarf and had forgotten his license.”
Police said no charges will be filed and the case is closed.
“We have talked to them, and I’m pretty sure they’re going to pay very close attention to their children and car keys in the future,” Christiansen said.
