Did you go to the bowling alley in that vehicle? >> No, sir. >> How long you know him? >> My whole life, sir. So you said >> you've known him your whole life and one day he's just like trusting him like that. He's stolen from me before he stole. Hey listen, shut up. Let me talk. Okay. So you guys walk over to the bowling alley, correct? Okay. So you walk in the bowling alley. You did not get in that vehicle to drive to the bowling alley before you got to the bowling alley. Correct. >> Sure. >> Okay. So what you go into the bowling alley, you take the keys. >> Never took the keys, sir. >> Okay. One of you took the keys. He might have took the keys.

I thought >> So a reasonable person would believe if you were in your shoes that you guys stole that vehicle. You drove it away. Correct. I mean, we don't want to play dumb [ __ ] We don't want to play dumb [ __ ] Okay. So, let me ask you this. You walk through the bowling alley. You walk in the bowling alley. You leave the bowling alley with random keys that you didn't have prior to getting to the bowling alley and a random vehicle that you have never been in before going into the bowling alley. Let's do this. Okay. So, you want us to be honest with you, you be honest with us. You stole a [ __ ] car. >> You didn't mean to, but did you know that? Did you have a reason to believe that you stole that vehicle? Don't play stupid with me, dude. So, you just thought you were just riding in a random spot. I'm done. No, no brakes. What's good? So, you want to like man up? Hey, you're good, too. >> What's up there? How do you think the owner of the vehicle feels? >> How would you feel if it was your vehicle? >> I know it was mine.

That's what you're telling me. >> Sorry. I haven't learned enough in my life. >> You haven't learned enough. >> I've already been to I've already been to JDC three times. I wouldn't want to go back to >> If this was your vehicle and someone stole the vehicle, what do you believe should happen to the person who stole the vehicle? >> They should be punished accordingly. Yeah. >> Okay. So, you are stating that you should be punished accordingly, but you're not admitting to stealing the vehicle even though you're admitting to going in the bowling alley, walking in the bowling alley. Do you kind of see where this is going? >> It does seem really messed up. >> It seems very messed up. So, would a reasonable person that are in your shoes believe that they stole the vehicle? I didn't think about it, sir. >> What? >> I didn't think about it. >> You didn't think about it. So, >> I don't want to go back. I can't. >> You're going back. That's the problem. >> I'll be enough to admit whatever was done was done. >> So, did you steal the vehicle? >> No, sir.

And he walked in there and I was like, "Okay." And I was waiting for him to come out. He's like, "I got the car keys." I'm like, "No, don't. We don't need the car keys. We don't need to do this shit." And he he just really wanted to do it. >> I appreciate your honesty, man. I appreciate that you admitting that, you know, you did this. So why were you the one that was driving away? >> Cuz he didn't know how to drive the car, so I was going to drive it for him. >> So you tried to talk him out of it. I get it. Yeah. You know, it's like, "Hey, I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this." You try to talk him out of it, but somehow >> I've been to the JChow. >> I've learned from this. I'm not I don't do bad stuff anymore. >> I appreciate you being honest. >> I don't remember driving the car. >> Come on, man. You're on camera. We got the whole camera, dude. >> You just told me that you drove because he didn't know how to drive. See, you uh >> That was all his idea. I swear to God, that was his idea. Like, I wouldn't steal a car. Like I've been through JC enough to know that. >> I'm worried about your legs now.

[clears throat] >> You guys have any other questions? >> What happens next? >> Both people that were in it are arrested right now. Yep. >> They are juveniles, so we're going to have to deal with that. >> Um, we're going to send charges over to the prosecutor, see what they want to do. We're going to give them a call and see if they're actually going to go to jail or if they're going to go home, cuz unfortunately, that's the way it works with juveniles. >> Gotcha. >> Um, you guys are good to take the car.
