This was devastating wreckage caused by a 16-year-old boy who smashed a stolen Mercedes into the front of a family home following a police chase.
The family who own the Salford property were forced to move out after the crash on December 18 last year, as the damage was so extensive the house was declared unsafe, police say.
According to Manchester Evening News, the £50,000 car had been stolen by the teen, who cannot be identified, in Cadishead earlier in the day before he lost control of the vehicle while being pursued by police.
Ordinarily, the family's two young kids would have been having breakfast in the very room the Mercedes ploughed into - but thankfully had stayed in bed as both were sick.
On Friday the youth, from Salford, was sentenced at Manchester magistrates' court for dangerous driving, aggravated vehicle taking, driving without a licence and driving without insurance.
He given a youth rehabilitation order, an activity requirement, a three month curfew, fined £85, and banned from driving for 12 months.
A post on the GMP Eccles, Cadishead, Barton and Irlam Facebook page: "The two young children who lived with their parents in the home, would normally been eating breakfast the other side of that wall.
"Fortunately, they were both feeling poorly and stayed in bed that morning.
"The house was so badly damaged the family had to move out of their home due to it being unsafe.
"As if the family had not suffered enough, the house was burgled a couple of weeks later and property stolen."
