Phoenix boy, 14, is forced to give away all his belongings as punishment for taking his parents' Range Rover on a high-speed joyride while they were out of town

A Phoenix teenager has been forced to give away all of his possessions after he took his parents' Range Rover for a high-speed joyride while they were out of town. 
Angel Martinez, 14, was seen sitting out front of his family home on Monday with his belongings stacked on the sidewalk and a sign reading: 'Sorry I stole my parent's car and was speeding.'
Designer sneakers, a flat screen TV and a plush bedroom set were all handed out for free to punish the law-breaking youngster for his reckless behavior. 
'Today, his room is 100 percent empty, and we're giving all his stuff away,' Angel's father, Ramon Martinez, told FOX 5. 
The news network was on the scene filming as neighbors picked up the teenager's goodies to take home.

Ramon explained that he and his wife were away celebrating their wedding anniversary in Las Vegas when they received a call from cops saying that their Range Rover had been seen speeding around the suburban streets. 
Angel - who appeared petulant after cleaning out his bedroom - explained that he was hand-washing his parent's pricey vehicle when he had the idea to take it for a drive. 
'I washed the car but didn't have anything to dry it, so [I thought] I'm gonna go for one spin until it dries,' he recalled. 
'I don't have a license so I just took it.'

Dad Ramon said he clearly explained to Angel that his bad behavior could have had serious consequences. 
'He could've run someone over. Something really bad could've happened,' he stated. 
He told FOX 5 that his son will be sleeping on the couch for the foreseeable future. 
Meanwhile, Angel says that giving away his possessions has helped him learn a valuable lesson. 
'It's kind of weird, but I think it's a fair punishment,' he said, after surveying his emptied-out room.
