NC 11-year-old steals, trashes teacher's car - 13newsnow.com

CHARLOTTE, N. C. -- A middle school teacher says an 11-year-old student stole her car and when she got it back it was destroyed — scratches, dents, gum on the seat — and dozens of cigarette butts on the floor. Sixth grade teacher Adrienne Friedrichs says the child walked out into the school parking lot with her stolen keys and used the unlocking sound to find her car. My son can't play ball tomorrow, he just got over open heart surgery from last year, so this is a big deal," said the single mother Friedrichs. "We survived heart surgery, survived the one-year anniversary, we've struggled and now this happened," Friedrichs told our sister station WCNC. Police aren't naming the juvenile, but say an 11-year-old has been charged with possession of a stolen vehicle. "Never would I think a child would do this to me," said a distraught Friedrichs. We know he is just one year older than Connor, Friedrichs' son, the one who had all of his baseball gear stolen. They both have heart conditions," said Friedrichs. So how did the keys to this 2010 Chevy Malibu get into the wrong hands in the first place. Friedrichs says the student stole them. I said, 'let me go check my car,' it was the only spot open in the parking lot. Source: www.13newsnow.com
