This trip to school was anything but ordinary: A 15-year-old stole a public bus and drove it over 100 kilometers. His goal: to take his girlfriend to school.

A 15-year-old boy from Mainz stole a public bus in Wiesbaden and drove it through rush-hour traffic for over 100 kilometers to Karlsruhe. There, he picked up his 14-year-old girlfriend at her home to take her to school.

According to the police, the boy had stolen the bus early Friday morning from the premises of a public transportation company. He reportedly opened the vehicle without using force and started it with a master key.

The bus was noticed to be missing late

"We don't know how he got hold of the keys or why he was able to drive the bus so well," said a police spokeswoman. It is also unclear why he drove his 14-year-old girlfriend to school in this unusual—and unauthorized—manner.

The disappearance of the bus, which had just been filled up with fuel the night before, was noticed at 6:00 a.m. Since it was initially assumed that a bus driver had taken the wrong bus, the incident was not reported to the police until around noon.

Teenager faces charges of theft

The investigation then led to Karlsruhe, where a police patrol spotted the bus around noon. Shortly before that, the 15-year-old had picked up his girlfriend.

I don't wanna be a huge bummer, and learning really is so much fun!

I really just have to summarize Thomas's entire life:

He was in a committed relationship with a male swan named Henry for 18-24 years before a female swan named Henrietta showed up and mated with Henry.

Thomas was initially jealous of the pair and attacked them, breaking 2 of the 5 eggs Henrietta had laid. However, once the remaining eggs hatched, Thomas warmed up to them and helped raise them.

Henry couldn't fly because of an injured wing, so Thomas taught the cygnets how to fly.

When they needed to reduce the goose population in the pond where Thomas and the swans lived, they dyed Thomas's feathers red so he wouldn't be separated from Henry.

Henry, Henrietta, and Thomas remained in their happy throuple for years and raised 68 cygnets before Henry died in 2009. After Henry's death, Henrietta found another swan and flew away, leaving Thomas alone.

Thomas finally met and mated with a female goose in 2011 and had his own babies. However, another goose named George stole them and raised them himself.

As Thomas grew elderly and blind, he was relocated to a wildlife center where he raised orphaned cygnets.

His caretaker at the center described him as "pretty high maintenance."

Thomas died in 2018 at the age of around 40. He had a funeral that included a small coffin and a procession that was led by a bagpiper. He was buried under the stone where Henry was buried, the two finally reunited in death.
