11 Year Old Steals Car After Watching YouTube Tutorials Then Crashes Into Someone's House

An 11 year old in Ohio decided YouTube University was the place to learn grand theft auto and it went exactly how you'd expect. The kid stole a car with his 8 and 12 year old friends riding shotgun after watching how to steal vehicles on YouTube.


Newburgh Heights Police got an alert about the stolen Mazda and tried pulling them over but this tiny criminal hit the gas. The chase ended when the 11 year old driver made a sharp left turn lost control and crashed straight into somebody's house.

The homeowner Daniel Reilly was watching TV when he heard a loud bang and a bunch of noise. Thankfully nobody got hurt and the house only had minor damage but imagine explaining that insurance claim.

All three kids jumped out and tried running but Police Chief John Majoy said officers caught them quick. When they asked how an 11 year old knew how to steal a car the kid admitted he learned from YouTube videos which is absolutely wild.


Chief Majoy told reporters this has got to be a record for youngest driver in a pursuit he's ever seen. The kids were released to their parents and now face juvenile charges for their YouTube inspired joyride gone wrong.

This is proof that kids will literally learn anything on the internet and parents need to check those search histories immediately.
