UPPER DARBY, Pa. -
Check out this video of a car trying to pull out of a rental car parking lot in Delaware County.
There's something very wrong here. Police say a 12-year-old boy was behind the wheel, trying to steal it.
This video is from last Saturday on Garrett Road in Upper Darby. Cops say the boy hit another car, got out and ran off.
Now, look at video from Sunday, the very next day. Police say you can see that same 12-year-old boy break in through a window at the same Enterprise Rent-a-Car office. He apparently tried to grab some keys.
Little did he know the manager was downstairs and heard him. The boy hears the manager coming and takes off, but the manager chases him.
Police eventually caught the boy and discovered another car at his home that he had allegedly stolen from the lot last Friday.
Officers say the boy may have been working with a 10-year-old, getting an early start on a life of crime.
"if they're out stealing cars...15 years of age," Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said.
Investigators are now looking at the 10-year-old friend to see what his involvement might have been.

Not the prettiest Friday, but we're ready for a great weekend. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. After an early high in the upper sixties, temperatures fall & winds pick up out of the chillier northwest. Right now the Memorial Day Weekend looks sunny and cool with highs in the low to mid 60s on Saturday, in the 70s Sunday & Monday. Cooler temps at the shore.

If you think a high school sophomore and an 88 year old World War II veteran wouldn't have a lot in common. Think again. When Joseph Blaisse was looking for his final Eagle Scout project he thought of
