While on patrol, an officer observed an unattended vehicle parked awkwardly on Martin Street. The officer ran the tag and made contact with the owner of the vehicle who said he had loaned the vehicle to his son and would have to contact him to confirm the status of the vehicle. Police drove to the son's address on E. 5th Street and there the son told police he received a call from his father prior to the police arrival and confirmed the vehicle was stolen. The son told police he left the keys in the vehicle during the night. He said a roommate saw the car leave the driveway of the residence about 7 a.m., but thought it was the son driving the vehicle. Neither the son or father has a spare key for the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to S&S Towing until they could arrange to have a key made for the vehicle.
