Jake Blunden, 24, did not ask who the keys belonged to.
It turned out they had been taken without the female owner's permission.
He was seen by police and arrested. Blunden, of Palatine Road, Blackpool, appeared before the town’s magistrates where he admitted taking the car without consent, disqualified driving and driving without insurance and being over the drink driving limit.
He was given a three year ban and an eight week suspended jail term with 20 rehabilitation days.
Magistrates told him he had escaped prison because he had engaged on a rehabilitation course .
