Maybe kids do play too much Grand Theft Auto these days. On a related note, I just realized that there aren’t any school buses in any of the GTAs. Probably because there aren’t any kids? Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh right, this kid.

WAUWATOSA – A 14-year-old boy who was suspended from school last week decided to steal a bus and take it for a joy ride to Mayfair Mall.
According to Wauwatosa police:

After having been suspended from school on June 8, the Milwaukee teen went for a walk and saw a school bus parked with its engine running near 90th Street and Capitol Drive.

The driver had gotten out of the vehicle to help a special-needs student to his front door.

Wrestling with his conscience, the boy walked past the bus numerous times and debated whether to get inside. The falling rain helped him make up his mind, however, and he jumped into the driver’s seat and drove away.

Yup, that’s completely awesome, and I’m pretty sure one of the origin stories to a character from Vigilante 8, the Twisted Metal knock-off (as seen above).

You know if he ever gets unsuspended, this kid is going to be a god at school after this.
