The parents were probably in bed asleep.

I agree. My sister and I used to slip out of our bedroom window when I was a teenager, and slip back in before daylight.

What a wild youth I had.

We did the same thing. Somtimes we would "borrow" my dad's '57 Chevy to go to the beach.

Last year we caught our 17 yo son in the act; he "borrowed" my car to go hang with friends; it was 3:00 a.m.

It's not always the parents fault, we gotta sleep sometime.
