Va. Car Thieves Drop Boy in Backseat Off at School: Police

Two car thieves made an unexpected stop after stealing a vehicle Wednesday morning, police said: They dropped an 8-year-old boy off at school.

The boy was sitting in his mother's car in her employer's parking lot when the men got inside, Norfolk Police spokesman Daniel Hudson said. The keys were in the ignition.

The boy told police the men asked him which school he attended and then took him there, Hudson said.

The mother called police after she returned to the parking lot and found the car and her son were missing.

Police said they found the boy unharmed at school. The car was abandoned about 3 miles away.

No arrests have been made.
