15-year-old B.C. teen caught speeding in parents’ Cadillac, wanted to meet girl

There's nothing quite love and a Cadillac to make a teen lose his head.

Police in Abbotsford, B.C. witnessed that last week when they stopped a 15-year-old speeding down the highway in his parents' Cadillac, returning from a visit with a girl he'd met recently, according to the Abbostford Times.

He was driving 175 km/hr to return the car before his family realized it was missing. You see, the teen had neither permission to take the car, nor a license to drive it.

But officer, I just had to see her again!

Blame it on a sense of adventure or on commercials about getting girls and driving fast cars but somehow this teen decided the reward was worth the risk. Police have fined him $759, the Times reported.

Time for his parents to buy a Honda Civic.

What's worse? The girl decided she only wanted to be friends, RCMP Cpl. Robert McDonald told the local newspaper.

In the end, he was unlucky in love and bad at crime.

A similar incident took place in Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania last month when a man stole his sister's car to impress a woman, according to WFMZ-TV.

Unfortunately, he forgot where he had parked it.

No knights on white horses here, only misdirected chivalry.
