VIDEO: Red light camera catches mechanic's joyride
A mechanic was busted taking a customer's car for a joyride after he was caught by a red light camera.

A mechanic was busted taking a customer's car for a joyride after he was caught by a red light camera.

The incident happened at 3 a.m. one morning in Oregon.

The auto repair shop worker apparently blew a red light, prompting the picutre.

And, it turns out, he wasn't alone - he apparently brought his girlfriend along for the ride.

The customer says if it wasn't for the red light ticket and accompanying photo she received, she never would have known her car left the shop.

The worker's excuse?

They were just test-driving the car.
