A woman from Athens became an accidental car thief when she drove home a car thinking it to be her daughter's, only to realize later that it belonged to someone else. A shocked Charlie Vansant called the police when he couldn't find his gray Toyota Camry in his school's parking lot.

The woman, Kate Anderson mistook the car for her daughter's and used her daughter's key to drive the car off.

Anderson realized the mistake after her daughter was surprised to see the car and asked her mother about it. They found Vasanth's number on the papers and traced him down through the Internet.

According to AP reports, Toyota spokesman Bill Kwong says key technology wasn't as sophisticated two decades ago thus the car could have started with other keys. However, he assures that the company now has a microchip embedded in the keys for 90 percent of its vehicles that allows them to start only with the correct key.

The police declined to pursue the matter, calling it a case of "mistaken car identity."
