He explains to you that he really likes fast cars but his parents dont have a lot of money. He said he received a scholarship to a private university due to his outstanding grades. He said the only problem is that the other kids have a lot of money and can afford the items that he desperately wants but cant afford. He said he saw another student leave his car running in the parking lot and went into the student center building. He said he was feeling like he was on top of the world and this was his golden opportunity to take that car for a spin. He said he had no plans for stealing the car he was merely taking it for a test drive. When Danny came back to the building campus security was interviewing the owner of the car. When he tried to explain to the other student and campus security he was taking it for a quick test drive he was escorted into the building to talk to the administration. Since its a small private university the student and administrators agreed not to press charges but he was placed on probation and had to commit to psych evaluation as well as following any recommendations made regarding therapy.When you were speaking to Danny you asked him if he was really trying to steal the car. He replies to you how dumb would he be to take the car back to the scene of the crime if he really had intended to steal the car. Then you ask him if he ever feels depressed.
