Cops Called By WA Dad After 5 Y.O. Proves To Be Way Too Good At Hide & Seek

There’s no denying that hide-and-seek is pretty ripper (and I am, of course, referring to the game, not the abysmal 2005 film of the same name, nor the Imogen Heap song, which is equally as good as the game) – but it kinda loses it’s magic once you get to a certain age. 

I certainly haven’t been able to nimbly hide in an epic spot for ages, but when you’re a kid, there is so much possibility. You can slip behind the fridge, hide under a bed, the whole shebang – making for what has the potential to be the most thrilling use of your time ever. 
This was very much the case for a five-year-old in Gidgegannup, Western Australia, who was playing hide-and-seek with his sister and hopped into the back of his mum’s SUV. So stealth was he in blending into the lush interior that the entire family had no bloody clue where he was. 
It got to the point where his dad (who didn’t know this showdown was taking place) called the police, when, at about 6pm, he couldn’t find his son anywhere on their property – and this really was the case, because his mum had driven out to the Midland Gate Cinema (25 kilometres away) with no idea her son was in the boot. 
Luckily they only had to search for an hour or so until a punter walking past the car realised that there was a child in the boot. Nevertheless, huge props to this little tyke who has the camouflage skills of a young Rambo
