In Arizona, a teenager took his parents' car without asking: as punishment, they distributed all his things
A family from Phoenix, Arizona, creatively punished their teenage son for taking their car without permission and driving it without a driver's license, according to his parents. Fox 10.
“I just wanted to drive the car, but I don’t have a license, so I just took it,” said 14-year-old Angel Martinez. “I was washing the car, and it seemed to me that I could do one lap until it was dry.”
Angel raced through his neighborhood in North Phoenix, disturbing neighbors as his parents celebrated their wedding anniversary in Las Vegas.
Angel's family learned of the trip after receiving a call from Phoenix police. Their son had been in trouble several times before, so there was no other choice but to put things in order.
And they did it.

“We returned to the house. Today his room is 100% empty and we are giving away all his things,” said Ramon Martinez, Angel’s father.
For several hours, Angel sat on his bed with a sign that read: "Sorry, I stole my parents' car and exceeded the speed limit."
Clothes, TV and sleeping furniture were distributed free of charge. Angel's belongings dispersed as quickly as he drove the car.
“This is to apologize,” Ramon said. - We are neighbors too. He could have hit someone. Something really bad could have happened."
For now he will sleep on the floor or, maybe a little later, on the sofa. The parents hope the young man has learned his lesson.
“It’s a little strange, but I think it’s a fair punishment,” Angel said.
