ATHENS, Ohio -- An Ohio woman became an accidental car thief when she used her daughter's car key to unlock and drive a car that turned out to belong to someone else.
The woman didn't realize it was the wrong gray Toyota Camry until her daughter saw the car the next day.
Toyota said back in the 1980s there were only so many ways to cut a key, making such a mix-up possible. Now keys have microchips that ensure the correct key is needed to start a car.
The family called the real owner and gave the car back. No charges were filed.
