    An 8-year-old girl is safely inside her Ohio home after taking her mother's car and driving it to a nearby Target, police said.

    Bedford police shared a Facebook post on Sunday morning about the young girl's Target run. Bedford is considered an eastern suburb of Cleveland.

    "Well I’ve finally found a woman who’s in more of a hurry to shop at Target than my wife," the Facebook post says. "More of (a) hurry by 8 years. That’s right an 8-year-old took mommy’s car this morning and drove to Target in Bainbridge to shop."

    8-year-old told police she hit mailbox

    The girl made it to the store where she was immediately located by Bainbridge, Ohio police, according to the social media post. Officers noticed her mother's 2020 Nissan Rogue in the store's parking lot, WJW reported , citing law enforcement officials.

    "Not sure what she bought, or if she was even able to use her Target app to save 5%," police wrote in the post. "We did let her finish her Frappuccino. We’re not mean."

    The girl was not injured during her trip, but she told officers that she "struck a mailbox," according to WJW.

    Police did not say how far the girl drove, but WJW used Google Maps to determine that the store was more than 10 miles from where she was reported missing, thus making her trip about a 20- to 25-minute drive.

    Cleveland Instagram post about joyride gets funny reactions

    An Instagram account called imfromcleveland shared the news of the joyride on its profile, which elicited several humorous reactions. Here are a few that were left in the comments. Note that the photo the account used is a stock image and not one of the actual girl involved in the incident.

    "What in the Home Alone is going on here!?"

    "'Found shopping inside' is hilarious. With what money? lol"

    "I feel her. Bainbridge Target is my favorite Target too 😂."

    "Props for admitting she hit a mailbox 😂"

    "'If mom won't let me get that toy, I'll get it myself'"

    "Well she probably drove safer than the average pick up truck in NE Ohio 😝"

    "Definitely wasn't her first time driving!!!"

    "Women do be shopping 😂"

    "She said by any means necessary 😂😂😂😂"

    "She probably drives better than most adults! 🤦 However, glad she and no one was hurt. I think she'll be grounded ['til] she's married. 😂"

    "I'm sure she drove & parked better than most adults 😘 glad she's safe"

    "Not they found her with a Frappuccino and $400 🤣🤣 She knew Target was on her list as soon as she woke up that morning! 😆"

    One commenter even claimed to have witnessed the girl during her shopping spree.

    "I was there when it happened she had a puppy with her and a cart full of stuff that she bagged. She was carrying a purse and paying at self check out 🤣❤️"
