(Worthy Satire) – In a bold crime wave that police say could only have been masterminded by someone with the coordination of a caffeinated squirrel, a 12-year-old boy was arrested this week for allegedly stealing multiple vehicles — and then flipping them for what authorities described as “basically lunch money.”
The pint-sized prodigy reportedly learned his tradecraft from hours of playing Grand Theft Auto V, which he referred to as “driver’s ed but, like, fun.” According to officials, the boy’s motive was not revenge, rebellion, or a cry for help — but a desperate, brain-freeze-fueled addiction to cherry Slurpees from his local 7-Eleven.
“He was moving cars like a used car lot with ADHD,” said Officer Linda Martinez. “One 2015 Honda Civic was sold for $14, half a pack of gum, and a promise of a Fortnite skin.”
The boy, known on the streets as “Lil Vinnie,” allegedly boosted at least five vehicles over a three-week spree, usually abandoning them in school parking lots or behind vape shops. His negotiation style? “Take it or leave it, I got places to be and Slurpees to drink,” according to police transcripts.
In court, the child’s lawyer argued that his client was not a criminal, but a misunderstood entrepreneur responding to inflation and a lack of after-school programs. “This is what happens when you cut funding for youth sports,” she said, adding, “and when GTA is cheaper than daycare.”
Slurpee sales at the 7-Eleven in question have plummeted since the boy’s arrest, and sources say he is currently working on a plea deal involving community service and a lifetime ban from Rockstar Games.
Meanwhile, multiple car owners are reportedly “just glad the kid didn’t take the aux cord too.”
