Police booked two drunk expat elementary school teachers who stole a car, according to Busan Saha Police Station on Monday.
Police said the teachers, 26 and 24, stole the car near a residential area at around 2:35 a.m. on Feb. 22 after the owner had forgotten to take out the keys.
Their escapade lasted five minutes because police stopped them at a checkpoint and booked them for drunk driving and driving without a license.
The teachers left the country soon after the incident, avoiding prosecution.
"The teachers had just finished their contract and were set to go home," a police official said. "Because there were no injuries or deaths, we could not issue an arrest warrant to stop them leaving."
