One one hand you have to admire his ability to drive on the freeway at a young age. Surprised he could reach the pedals. Chutzpah and early skill needs to be acknowledged even if it was naughty.
One the other hand, he borrowed the car without asking.

Complete violation of privacy. If I was familiar with that family and the distinctive blanket they have in their car, I’d be able to identify them.

That kid looks huge for a 5 year old! My kid, while small for her age, could never have physically driven a car. She’d have to be like Short Round in Indian Jones and have blocks on her feet and a booster seat and even then I am not sure how it would work.
I think those are shorts. Though I am betting if you KNOW the family, you would hear about it eventually.

Oops, yeah, shorts. Combined with the shirt, pretty much anybody who knows the kid should be able to identify him.
My niece is 12 and I still don’t think she can reach the pedals. She is doomed to shortness from both parents.I got all the height in the family.

Based on the photo, the young man’s face is a portal to a land of centipedes.

Maybe I’m missing a joke here, but that is a deeply disturbing facial blur.

If they cared about their privacy, they would make sure their five-year-old did steal the car.

All for free range kids, but maybe this is a a tad much.

See I think they are much tastier when raised like veal or Wagyu beef.

They are “Elders” at 18, so maybe this makes sense.

I’d be a bit more concerned that his dad is clearly the antagonist from Day Of The Tentacle
