Preschoolers, you've been warned: No crime goes unpunished in
Utah
It seems like a Jimmy Kimmel prank waiting to
be revealed. Alas, this bizarre case of overzealous, if not downright
pointless, policing appears to be reality.
Police in American Fork, Utah, have given an
abandoned-vehicle ticket to a Barbie Jeep owned by two young girls.
The toy was left overnight on the sidewalk
next to the family’s driveway, and when the father of the two girls who left it
there woke up, he found it parked behind his SUV — with an abandoned vehicle
ticket on it.
CarBuzz reports that while the reporter in the news
video (below) is treating the incident as a joke, it is clearly a real ticket
that will have to be paid. What’s even more astonishing is the attitude of the
police spokesman being interviewed.
“These little girls are very lucky,” he
intones. “Normally we would tow it away.”
Yeah, you kids, you’re “lucky.” Just because
you’re cute and blond and barely out of kindergarten doesn’t mean you can get
away with a life of crime. You’ve been warned!
