German Teenager Steals City Bus to Drive Girlfriend to School

Wiesbaden, Germany. An unusual example of what people will do for love has emerged in Germany. A 15-year-old boy in Wiesbaden reportedly stole a large bus to drive his girlfriend to school.

This incident, which occurred last Friday morning, has astonished both the German police and the transport company. Around 6 a.m., the teenager secretly entered the bus depot.

There, he managed to find the main ignition key, started a bus, and drove it out of the depot without anyone noticing. Surprisingly, although the bus leaving was captured on the depot's CCTV, employees assumed it was one of their own drivers taking the vehicle and paid no attention.

Theft Discovered Only in the Afternoon

The company did not realize the bus was missing until the afternoon. Initially, they suspected a driver might have mistakenly taken the wrong bus and questioned all their employees. Only after all drivers confirmed they had not taken the bus did the company realize it was stolen and report it to the police.

Bus Found 130 Kilometers Away

When the police tracked the bus's GPS, it was located in the city of Karlsruhe, approximately 130 kilometers from Wiesbaden. Police officers were stunned when a patrolling team stopped the bus and found the 15-year-old boy in the driver's seat.

According to the police spokesperson, the teenager had taken the bus to drive his 14-year-old girlfriend to school. He was apprehended by the police as he was preparing to return to Wiesbaden after dropping off his girlfriend.

'We still do not know how he obtained the bus key or how he managed to drive the bus so proficiently,' the police spokesperson said.

No injuries occurred in this incident, and the bus did not even sustain a small scratch. The bus has been safely returned to its owner. However, the teenager is now facing legal action for vehicle theft and driving without a license.
