Teenager's £12,000 spree on father's credit card

A teenager took his father's credit card before spending £12,000 during a four-day spending spree in Rome and Brighton.

Tom Smith took the card from his father's wallet while he was out jogging.

The 17-year-old then booked himself a flight from Stansted to Rome where he spent his first night in a three-star hotel.

He reportedly spent £1,900 in Versace buying footwear, jewellery, belts and T-shirts; £1,800 in Dolce & Gabbana on clothes, footwear, T-shirts and underwear; £800 in Prada on footwear and clothes; £1,632 on a Louis Vuitton suitcase, and £163 on glasses from Armani.

He paid £300 for a limousine tour of Rome and also booked into the five-star, £340-a-night Hassler Roma hotel.

After returning to the UK, he booked another limousine at Gatwick, picked up three friends in London, then travelled to Brighton. There they took two £250-a-night rooms at a four-star hotel, reports The Sun.

Next day, the teenager picked up a £860 Sony video camera before a limousine took the four home. The limousine hire cost him £1,983.

He said: "If Dad had got me these things in the first place I wouldn't have had to steal his card."

His father John, who is said to earn £100,000-a-year as an investment banker, branded his son "a little s**t -but forgave him for what he'd done.

The teenager, who is set to be interviewed by police, said: "I might avoid a conviction if I pay the bill."

Do you get paid to post an annanova article everyday?

fuckin spoiled brat.

Investment bankers just don't make what they used to. Must be tuff.

He needs a beating! Fucking stealing a CC of his fathers & spending 12K in UK pounds! I'd disown my kid! LOL

jDo

LOL...that's the way to go...

yeah he learned his lesson...

lol that teenager got some balls LOL :1orglaugh

12k

that all

thats nothing

ah teenagers, always a problem :)

:winkwink:

what a greedy little dickhead. dont the places check out the signature on the card? what the fuck is up with that, i know i wouldnt sell expensive shit to a 17yo without checking

no, I post a lot more than just the articles. Annanova is my morning read and if I see something interesting I post it - just like a load of other people. I walk on the wild side sometimes and read yahoo news instead ;)

I live in a very news driven home (hubby is a journalist) so it is just one of my main interests. You can always not read them.

nice boy! :thumbsup

he needs his ass whooped

and i guess your the tough guy to do it

eh?

Time for the kid to get a job and pay his dues :)

thats it just lost his headstart in life now didnt he.

Send him to boot camp :1orglaugh

ahaha i love that :1orglaugh

what a spoilt kid

That kid needs to get a fucking job, pay off his debt, and get his ass thorougly kicked by his father nightly until it's paid off.

my sentiments exactly.

i once ran up a $600 phone bill (when I first discovered the BBS world and there wasn't one on a local number) and to this day if I am with my mother for more than two days it will be mentioned. You better believe I had to pay it back (and my mother threw the modem out of the second floor window).

That kid got off easy, I remember when I was a kid I had this huge sea-shell filled with pennies. Probably a couple hundred. I threw it out the window and my mom yelled at me for just about forever, and it was over about like $3-4 bucks.

i guess his parents didnt notice he was in another country?

or did he just say "im going to italy cya later"

I think he might have just been that chargeback I had...:BangBang:

Incredible...:ak47:

if i had a son who did that , he would be out the fucking door

Yeah, see how fast it takes him to make that money .........Spoiled fucking Brat :2 cents:

stupid kid
