A Pasco County teen didn’t want to miss out on National Pancake Day at IHOP this week, so deputies said he stole his grandmother’s minivan on Monday.

Aside from not having her permission, deputies said the 15-year-old didn’t have a driver’s license.

His grandmother quickly reported the 2002 Chrysler Town and Country stolen. According to the arrest report, it didn’t take long for law enforcement to catch up with the teen.

About 1.5 miles away, they said he crashed into a curb and then a hedge on Gulf Trace Boulevard in Holiday.

A Florida Highway Patrol officer who responded to the crash took the boy back to his grandmother’s house.

A couple of days later, deputies stopped by the home and found the teen hiding in the bathroom.

According to the arrest report, he admitted to taking the car without permission because he wanted free pancakes.

Deputies arrested him and charged him with grand theft auto.

It is still not clear whether or not he ever made it to IHOP for those pancakes.
