A teenager needed a ride to her boyfriend's pad

And if you guessed Florida Teenager, well you were right

Needing a ride to her boyfriend’s house, a Florida Girl yesterday ordered pizzas to a neighbor’s house and then popped out of some nearby bushes and stole the car driven by a Papa John’s deliveryman, police allege.

As detailed in a police report, Josie Bigelow, 14, placed the phony food order early Wednesday to lure the victim to a street near her home in Lehigh Acres, a Fort Myers suburb.

As the driver walked to the front door of a residence with pizza in hand, Bigelow emerged from some nearby woods and hopped into the 49-year-old deliveryman’s unlocked 2006 Ford Taurus.

Bigelow was subsequently arrested about six miles from the heist scene, where investigators say she sought to ditch the hot wheels in a stranger’s driveway. Before getting collared, the girl twice escaped from a pursuing sheriff’s deputy.

The delivery guy must have left the car running, which is always a dumb idea. PoindexterOglethorpe Jan 2019 #5

5. The delivery guy must have left the car running, which is always a dumb idea.

Turn off the engine, take the keys. That and restarting the car probably adds less than 30 seconds to the delivery.

I have low sympathy for people who leave the car running.
