  "account": "An unnamed reporter found themselves tragically abducted by a diminutive vehicle in Grand Theft Auto 5, after utilizing a mod that transforms cars into miniature versions of themselves. The mod, titled \"Toy Cars – Make any car tiny,\" allows players to shrink any car they are driving, keeping the original vehicle visible, sounding, and behaving like itself while using a hidden RC-sized chassis beneath to maintain collision, suspension, and road physics. The reporter experienced this mod working flawlessly initially, as they teleported into a taxi and tapped the F7 key to shrink it down to Lilliputian proportions. However, the reporter soon discovered that the game stopped registering the tiny car as having a player-character driver, causing it to behave erratically and uncontrollably around Los Santos, bouncing off walls and ducking under low arches. The reporter could not escape the tiny car, which continued to careen recklessly, seemingly subject to the laws of the game but beyond the control of the abductee. The only way to return the car to its normal size was to tap the F7 key again, but the reporter lamented the brief moment they thought they could live out their dream of being a Borrower.",
