Two young car enthusiasts in Russia decided to make an unexpected trip to a local car dealership, in a bid to buy a high performance Jaguar. The five year old boys escaped from their kindergarten and headed for the dealership to purchase a sports car. The fact that they had no money on them did not deter the boys in their quest. Luckily they were spotted by a woman driving past in her car. She took the boys to the nearest police station and they were later returned unharmed to their parents, much to the relief of all concerned. The boys had planned the escape over the previous few days. The local authorities responded by sacking the supervisor of the kindergarten.
