An 11-year-old boy who stole a bus in Germany drove it around a city and even picked up unsuspecting passengers before being stopped by police.
The budding young bus driver found the keys to the vehicle and tracked it down at a depot in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, on Tuesday afternoon.
He proceeded to figure out how to get it moving and set out on a joy ride along major four-lane road, stopping to pick up waiting passengers on the way.
But alarmed passers-by swiftly noticed the schoolboy’s erratic driving and called police, who arrived to find three stunned people on board.
“Officers were astonished when the 11-year-old started telling them about his passion for buses,” the Donau Kurier reported.
“At three years old he already had an interest and often uses his free time to ride the city’s buses.”
Upper Bavaria Police said the boy found the keys several weeks ago and decided to keep them, discovering the private vehicle parked and empty following repairs.
“The boy was taken to a police station and handed over to his mother,” a spokesperson added.

What made me laugh out loud was:
"police, who arrived to find three stunned people on board."
How could they NOT see that a little boy was driving......hahahahaha
To me, everyone, including doctors, look to be about 11 years old... So, I'm not surprised!
“Officers were astonished when the 11-year-old started telling them about his passion for buses,”
LOL, I'm sure that they were astonished.
I see a Indy 500 driver in the future, or a hell of a bus driver.
