David Iliff told theage.com.au about eight police cars surrounded the tram, which was at the intersection of Glenferrie Road and Wellington Street, and carrying about 10 passengers.
"A number of police officers had guns drawn and were yelling at the boy inside the tram to open the doors," he said.

The boy, from Sunshine, was taken to Boroondara police station and charged with nine offences, including two counts each of theft of trams and conduct endangering life.

1. How did he get obsessed with trams if he lived in Sunshine. He'd have to take a fairly lengthy trip on other public transport to get to the nearest tramline (either the 57 or the 82).
2. I'm still not getting this theft thing. In order to prove theft you would have to have some sort of assumption that the boy could in some sense take posession of somebody else's property. This is hardly even true in a short term sense.
3. Eight police cars and guns drawn? These are seriously scared police.
4. 
   I reckon they've got the Luna Park location about a hundred metres north of true. That tramline runs across the north face of Luna Park.
5. And again with map trivialities... have they found the True Source of the Yarra River, just inside the grounds of Scotch College? What is the Kennett connection?
