ATLANTA — Atlanta City Council member Antonio Brown said he was on hold with 911 for five full minutes after children stole his car Wednesday.
Brown is one of four candidates in the Atlanta mayor’s race this year, in which crime has become a driving issue.
The councilman told Channel 2′s Tom Regan that he was meeting up with people to discuss plans to build affordable housing in the area. Moments after he stepped out of his car, a group of kids jumped in and took it.
“These kids were in my opinion somewhere between 7- and 11-years-old. So you don’t immediately think, ‘Oh, these kids are going to steal my car,’” Brown said.

Where were the keys???
IF 7-11 year olds know how to hot wire a car that quickly-—Atlanta has a much larger problem than it is willing to address.
He left the keys in his car? In ATLANTA?
Next time he’ll know better and drive a car with there pedals.
Stolen car. Driving issue. I see what you did there, writer.
Correction: three pedals (including a clutch).
People are always leaving their car running at the gas station or somewhere, and their car gets stolen. It happened to Akon in Atlanta the other day (left car running while getting gas).
He should have had a youth car theft prevention device. Standard transmission.
“Kids” want to grow up fast to be like the ones they admire as role models, “teens.”
Like youngsters used to be inspired by watching the Olympics to get into training programs themselves.
Maybe a little bit different today.
“He said the kids who stole his car acted out of hopelessness and desperation. This is a generational poverty issue.”
They stole his Mercedes. Sounds like it’s headed for a chop shop. Desperate 7 year old kids always have chop shop friends. lol
Last year he left his heart in San Francisco. It's a pattern with the guy.
Kids or “teens”?
Most of the fancy new cars can be tracked, or even disabled remotely.
“He left the keys in his car?”
Read!
How dare he say they were stealing his car, that’s his white privilege showing because he has a car and they don’t. /s
“People are always leaving their car running at the gas station or somewhere, and their car gets stolen.”
Not the case here.
Anti-millenial theft device, I call it.
“Where were the keys???
IF 7-11 year olds know how to hot wire a car that quickly-—”
You wouldn’t make silly posts if you had read the article!
“...white ....
Huh?
“Atlanta City Council member Antonio Brown”
A social worker or lebrainless should be able to help him get it back.
