5-year-old goes on $133k shopping spree!

MELBOURNE: After finding a fortune in his dad's safe, a five-year-old went on a 133,000 dollars shopping spree.

Little Djodja Markovic took his friends to a shopping mall and blew the money on clothes, toys, bicycles, lollies, computers and games.

His father Slobodan Markovic, a Serbian businessman, kept the money in a safe at home.

He only realised what had happened when his son and his friends came home with dozens of shopping bags.

"I must have forgotten to lock the safe and he just saw the money and took it. I have asked the police to investigate because it is unbelievable that the shop owners let such a young boy do this," the Daily Telegraph quoted him, as saying.

A spokesman for Belgrade police confirmed that they are investigating Djodja Markovic's spending spree.

Nah, not buying it. I've got two five year olds and they wouldn't be able to do that.

I smell a rat.

and if this happened in Melbourne, why are Belgrade police investigating this? Sounds like garbage to me.

Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about

Sounds like to me someone maybe in trouble with the wrong crowd spent the money himself and is now trying to cover his tracks.
