A man told police he went to Escape Experience at 1800 Rossville Ave. and tried to find a parking spot. He said an Hispanic male, approximately 5'4" and heavyset wearing a shirt with the word "parking" written on it, asked if he wanted him to park his black 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500. The man assumed the man worked for the venue and was a valet. He said he handed the man the keys to his truck about midnight. When he exited the venue, he attempted to find the man he believed to be a valet and his truck to no avail. The man then asked the owner of the venue if he had a valet in the area where the interaction occurred, and the owner said he did not. The man then called 911 to report his truck stolen. Before police were able to write the original report, the man said he found his truck at 2925 Rossville Blvd. abandoned. An officer arrived and the man said he hadn’t touched the vehicle before police arrived. The officer searched the truck in attempt to locate any property that may contain fingerprints and found multiple empty Corona beer bottles. The officer collected four of the glass bottles which were turned into CPD Property Division in attempt to collect latent prints. The keys were found in the ignition. After officers collected evidence, the man looked through his vehicle and found that his wallet, which contained his driver’s license, work documents and $600 cash, was stolen from the vehicle. The keys to the vehicle were returned to the man and he left the vehicle at 2925 Rossville Blvd. locked due to his alcohol consumption through the night. The man also told officers that he knows the owner of 2925 Rossville Blvd. and will attempt to gain video footage of the suspect parking the vehicle at a later date and time.
