The MoM Team were astounded by the great lengths a Norwegian boy went to in order to visit his grandparents!

A ten-year-old Norwegian boy came up with a novel excuse after stealing his parents’ car and crashing it into a ditch – he claimed he was a DWARF who had forgotten his driving licence.

The schoolboy- who lives near the town of Dokka, around 70 miles north of Oslo – loaded his 18-month-old sister into the car shortly after 6am on Wednesday and headed for their grandparents in Valdres, about 40 miles away.

The child drove more than six miles before he veered off the road into a snow-filled ditch. He was found by a snowplow driver who alerted police.

Baard Christiansen, of Vest Oppland police district, said: “The parents woke up and discovered that the children were missing and that someone had taken off with their car.

“They were pretty upset, as you can imagine.”

But the quick-thinking youngster had a unique defence when quizzed about his early morning joyride.

“The boy told the snowplow driver that he was a dwarf and that he had forgotten his driver’s license at home,” Officer Christiansen said.

The children were uninjured in the crash and the car was not damaged, police said.

No charges have been filed and the case was closed.

Officer Christiansen said the parents had been spoken to adding: “I’m pretty sure they’re going to pay very close attention both to their children and to their car keys in the future.”

  • Reminds me of the german kid who loved fire trucks, so he set fire to his neighbours house ( not his!) and when the trucks arrived and the crews jumped out he jumped in and took off. A slow speed chase all the way to the border, when the truck finally ran out of fuel!

  • This child had a mission to complete and is very independent, thankfully it did not end in tragedy.
    We always keep our valuables and keys locked away in our room and the kids know that the car is out of bounds.
    Love that the kid wanted to see their grand parents that much. Needs to ask his parents to see them more.

  • you have to admit, it is cute that he loves his grandparents that much, even if it was a very safe way of going about it. Very inventive little boy.

  • My kids have been known to have been found in my car. I’ve been more careful lately though as now they can start it!

  • It’s easy to say my kids would never think or do that but I don’t know kids they days are so more mature and quick thinking,Sounds like my son, but I hope he never does anything like this! Good thing the keys are always next to me in my bag at night.
