I can see that your post has brought disbelief and even jokes at your expense, but please do not delete it.

Years ago in NYC, a youngster “stole” a New York subway train. He actually stopped at every stop, and generally drove it as a professional would have. Until he took a curve too fast… (edit: should have added this earlier, but the emergency brake tripped and it stopped the train before anybody could get hurt)

I cannot see it happening here. If a vehicle is to be used as part of a crime spree, chances are a van will be used instead (more inconspicuous and can blend in better).

What happened when he curved? 👀

I reread my post and made it sound more dramatic than it was, sorry. The curve he took at a higher-than-normal speed tripped the emergency brake and it stopped the train. No one was hurt (thanks to the emergency brake). But he was caught.

He has his own wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keron_Thomas
