OTIŠAO U AVANTURU ŽIVOTA Dječak (12) ukrao dizalicu od 15 tona, pa bježao od policije
Zanimljiva priča dolazi iz mjesta An Arbor u američkoj saveznoj državi Mičigen, gdje je u subotu kod jedne škole ukradena građevinska mašina, a za sve je kriv nestašni 12-godišnjak.

Dječak je, prema pisanju lokalnih medija, otvorio vrata nezaključane građevinske dizalice, uzeo ključeve skrivene u kabini, upalio mašinu te krenuo u avanturu.
Ukradeno vozilo je, tehnički gledano, teleskopski utovarivač od 15 tona i nosivosti viljuške na kranu oko 2.7 tona – dakle, nije riječ baš o igrački.
Nije to smetalo ovome dječaku, kao ni činjenica da ga je policija uočila već nakon nekoliko minuta.
Nastavio je svoju vožnju prema centru grada, a dok ga je lovilo nekoliko policijskih vozila uspio je oštetiti desetak parkiranih vozila i niz saobraćajnih znakova.
