The five-year-old boy from Utah who was caught earlier this week by the police driving his parents' car may have found out that crime indeed, pays. 

When an adult learned about how the boy, Adrian Zamarripa, stole the keys to the Dodge Journey, his family's car, he headed to California to buy a Lamborghini.

Then, after purchasing the luxury car, the adult decided to let the boy experience what it was like to be in his dream car, and have him "ride around the neighborhood.

A local businessman, Jeremy Neves said, he contacted the Zamarripa family after the kid's story went viral. He added, he was inspired "by the principles that the child displayed of success," knowing what he has wanted and was going after it.

Rewarded but Certainly Not Recommended

He may have rewarded the five-year-old with what was seemingly a "joyride," but the businessman insisted he does not agree with the action of Adrian.

Undeniably, Neves said, he is "not encouraging kids to go out" and take the car of their parents or family and do something else that is unlawful. More so, he elaborated he is not advocating the goy's action, too.

Clips of Adrian's joyride came out, as he sat on someone else's lap minus the seatbelt, and they drove around the block with Neves driving the luxury car. The obviously happy boy exclaimed, "This car's fast!"

According to the Utah Highway Patrol, it is not citing anyone for the motoring of Adrian on Monday. In addition, the authorities added they stopped the vehicle after they noticed it was "swerving on an interstate.

When asked by the police, Adrian said he was going to California to buy a Lamborghini as his mother refused to buy him one.

Meanwhile, Sidney, the boy's sister, explained to CNN that her brother had been grounded for the escapade, and his list of chores to do has gotten longer. When he learned about this, Neves sympathized with Adrian's "self-inflicted" trouble.

He said he thought it was indeed cool to say, his dreams are not as impossible as he believes they are. Not many people are quite happy about the reward, though.

Disapprovals on Twitter

Most, if not all, people who learned about the story of Adrian disapproved of the reward. One Twitter user sarcastically commented, a five-year-old boy stole a car, and he was being taken on a joyride in a luxury car and without the car seat. 

Another post said, "I would normally say, as a child, he did not know better." However, as indicated in the post, the boy knew enough to go to the dealership and pull over when the police stopped him.

One more post couldn't help but say the incident was disgusting. The Twitter user also posted disappointment in some news sites for airing the occurrence, specifically the businessman facilitating the joyride.
