It all started here at the Big Bear Airport. A bit later, it ended in the
middle of the desert. Police say two 14-year-olds, stole the keys to one
boy's father's airplane and stole it from its hangar.

Given the storm at the time, the likelihood of clouds obscuring the
peaks, and a virtually moonless night, I'm amazed this flight ended so
well.

Well, the boys obviously have some piloting skills. Too bad they'll be
felons now...

Because the aircraft belongs to one of the boy's fathers, it's not
clear that they will be charged.

You can bet the insurance company will not pay off for 'Wrongful
conversion" and Dad will be left with a hefty bill to get his Mooney
back to flyable. I was looking at the fact they got it back on the
ground without major? damage or injury.

Ah... But in California if you as much as look at your kid wrong you go to
jail for abuse. I am afraid there is nothing he can do but give them a
time-out. ;-)

Well, I'd take him out to Dulzura and leave him there! That would be a
real wake up! Or, perhaps closer to you in De Luz....?

I suspect that under that style of parenting, this 14 year old would not
have even attempted the theft.

Oh, don't get me wrong... I am not saying I disagree with your philosophy
in the least. However, I have seen the oddest behaviors from "do-gooders"
in this useless state.

For instance...

While in a blockbuster video, a kid (about age 5) was being a major pain
and the parent swatted the kid on the rear while in the store. Another
person came up and "detained" them until the police showed up. True story
which I personally observed.

Why is that? The owner himself was not the operator at the time of the
accident.

The fact that the thief of the aircraft was his son does not negate the
fact that the aircraft was stolen and damaged. As an aircraft owner
myself, I have confidence that this aircraft will be covered by the owner's
insurance policy.

So, they'll pay off to the father on the stolen aircraft and then sue the
son for the damage that he did to it... Since the son is a minor, the father
would have to pay it... Never underestimate the limits the insurance
companies will go to to keep from paying out or getting their money back...
