8-year-old girl goes on 25-minute joyride to Target in car

An 8-year-old girl from Ohio took her mother’s car without permission and drove to Target, 25 minutes away from her home, while her family and police were searching for her. The family reported her missing nearly two hours after they last saw her. A neighbor provided security camera footage showing the girl getting into the car and driving off on her own. Police eventually found her in the Target parking lot in a neighboring town. The girl admitted to hitting a mailbox on her way to the store. The police department humorously mentioned the incident on Facebook, joking about what she may have bought at the store. Many people commented on the impressive nature of the young girl’s journey and driving skills. One commenter praised her ability to make the long trip correctly, while another admitted that they could see themselves doing something similar at that age. The girl was eventually reunited with her family, and the incident served as a reminder of the unexpected things children are capable of doing.
