One of the officers in my department was dispatched to WalMart this afternoon to take a 'stolen vehicle' report. A description of the vehicle was given to dispatch, and in turn, it was sent to surrounding agencies.
During this time, the other officer notified dispatch that the 'victim' had his truck keys in his pocket, so the steering column on the 'stolen' truck would probably be 'busted'.
This is where the radio traffic stopped. About 10 minutes later, I met up with this officer. It seems this officer called the victim's wife, explained what happened and asked if she could come pick him up.
He said the wife began laughing hysterically, finally regaining her composure long enough to say, 'That IDIOT drove my CAR to town, NOT his truck!'
