Jewel Stole Someone Else's Car, But at Least She Didn't Steal a Baby (VIDEO)

Jewel Stole Someone Else's Car, But at Least She Didn't Steal a BabySinger-songwriter Jewel appeared on the latest episode of 'Chelsea Lately' (weeknights, 11PM ET on E!). While she was on the show, Jewel confessed to a fairly heinous crime. In legal terms, it's a little thing called grand theft auto. Yes, the singer stole someone else's car. (Don't worry, though. It wasn't really her fault.)

It seems that while Jewel was staying a hotel during a recent vacation, she accidentally zoomed off in a car that didn't belong to her. She drove in it for a really long time without noticing this, too. Eventually, the manager of the hotel had to call Jewel and point out that she had, in fact, "boosted" someone's "ride." But it could have been worse!

How so, you ask? Well -- when Jewel turned around to glance at the car she had "borrowed," she noticed that there was a baby seat in the back ... and also tons of baby DVDs spread out everywhere in the car. So Jewel could have potentially driven off with someone's infant child. Luckily, she didn't, so that all worked out.

Once she is done talking about the whole "accidental theft" topic, Jewel makes a bit of an awkward segue. She mentions to host Chelsea Handler that she is currently trying to have a baby of her own. Oh, well then. See! So Jewel wouldn't even need to abduct a kid. She just wants to have one with her husband Ty Murray, who happens to be a professional rodeo cowboy. The whole thing totally puts Jewel in the clear, infant-snatching-wise.

Oliver is the typical idiot reporter who gets all caught up in the 'cute' aspects of a story, while missing the most important key detail: how did she get in the wrong car in the first place? Valet, keys left in (both) cars or HOW? Strange how such an important detail was not important to him.

If it had been a working Joe he/she would have been charges with grand theft auto and kidnapping. But since it was a celebrity who did it nothing happens. And they say the rich dont get preferential treatment. Yeah right.

Ya know, it would be So nice IF they would at least tell the "whloe" story. Like how she got the car to start with! Sounds like the hotels personnel messed up BIG time here. This car must have been the same as hers I'm guessing, otherwise I would think she would know it.I hope so anyway!

Jewel was staying at a hotel, the car was probably a rental, it was probably brought up front with key in it for her, she hopped in and took off. Don't some of you THINK?

Well how scary is that. I know from personal experience when I drove off in a minivan with a woman in the middle of giving birth while her sextuplets slept in the back seat. Well actually I got into my Caddy, but it could have happened if I did make that mistake. I magine how scarry this could have been. As scarry as this article going for shock value to make the reader think she actually drove off with someone's baby. Come on folks...really
