Toddler Buys Car on eBay
A 14-month-old Oregon toddler purchased a 1962 Austin-Healy Sprite after her father left his smartphone unattended and unlocked when his daughter inadvertently opened his eBay app. It only took a few clicks for the little tyke to be the proud owner of the convertible, which fortunately, only cost her proud papa $225. The father plans to keep and restore the car, maybe even giving it to her as a birthday present someday. After all, she picked it out.
