A 6-year-old girl somehow managed not to hurt herself or anyone else after swiping her sleeping mother's car keys and attempting to drive across town to her dad's house. The Pittsburgh girl's "Gone in 60 Seconds"-style Sunday morning ended when she crashed into three parked cars before hitting a utility pole. "How she knew how to operate a car, your guess is as good as mine," Police Sgt. Jerry Parker said, noting that the kid was "tall for her age." Her father came to pick her up after the four-car accident - which is sort of a happy ending - but we're hoping she'll just call him for a ride the next time she's feeling Dad-sick.
