Ohio police say a penniless 13-year-old used his school computer to buy a helicopter and a jet on Ebay.
Police say he used his friend's mother's password. They say his successful bids add up to about ã1.4m.
Columbiana County Sheriffs say he made the purchases on May 24 using a computer at Beaver Middle School.
They say he made successful bids of $1.1m for the helicopter and $199,000 for the jet.
The woman alerted authorities when the helicopter owner rang to ask how she intended to pay for it.
Authorities say the boy also 'bought' motorbikes and a pick-up truck. The woman has cancelled the transactions.
The boy hasn't been charged. His head teacher says he's thinking about punishing him.
