Just saw this funny story on yahoo news.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060926/...life_boy1_dc_1

Three-year-old buys pink convertible on Internet Tue Sep 26, 7:31 AM ET

http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/nm/2..._life_boy1.jpg

LONDON (Reuters) - Jack Neal briefly became the proud owner of a pink convertible car after he managed to buy it for 9,000 pounds ($17,000) on the Internet despite being only three years old.

Jack's mother told the BBC she had left her password for the eBay auction site in her computer and her son used the "buy it now" option to complete the purchase.

"Jack's a whizz on the PC and just pressed all the right buttons," Rachel Neal said.

The seller of the second-hand car, a dealer from Worcestershire, central England, was amused by the bid and agreed not to force the sale through.

"Luckily he saw the funny side and said he would re-advertise," Neal said.

It is a bit of a problem, I have set this machine up with passwords and profiles so that my little girl can do as she wishes when we log her on.

I quite often watch shoes and boots in my sizes on ebay, it would be a real shame if she bought them without me Knowing......................................

Hang on,
I think I have found a way to swell my collection of heels and get away with it!

I will let you all know if it works.

But you never did tell us the the most important part. Did the car come equipted with kiddie peddals or extra big blocks for the controls?

that was funny :)

Best thing to avoid this I guess is buying a second computer and password your main computer.

Something tells me there's another side to that story. Seems a bit fishy to me.
