GREY EAGLE, Minn. (AP) — Authorities in Todd County say a thief stole a car while the owner was letting it warm up.
A St. Cloud Times report (http://on.sctimes.com/V1mNXm ) says the vehicle was found about 20 minutes later. It had been involved in a single-vehicle rollover, and the driver wasn't around.
Deputies say the vehicle's owner told police he started his car Saturday afternoon and was letting it get warm. He says someone stole the car while it was idling.
A short time later the sheriff's office received a call reporting a one-vehicle rollover accident. The caller said there was no one at the scene of the crash. Deputies say the car was the stolen vehicle.
The sheriff's office is looking for suspects.

That is why I never leave my vehicle running without me in it!
Back in the old days,
We left our cars running with the kids in them...and they weren't in approved car seats either. And no one took them or the car. The gas exhaust by the post office was thick.
If somebody walks to the West Pine River
Wilderness, you'd better let them have it!!! They might be carrying a few assault rifles and a gazillion magazines. Or is that clips or clops???? (for the lefters)
Pssst. you're safe tonight if they oiled their gun!
If you want your car stolen-
Leave your kids at home. No good thief wants a bunch of brats.
F&B
What is wrong with the west of Pine River? Do you mean the Foothills? I lived out in that direction for many years and never had an issue with people. But then again, I'm not you, that might be the difference.
Why did you have to turn a good topic into your usual B.S?
Nan, Nan, Nan, I didn't but you did.
I was teasing , because they'd have to be really tough to walk out that far in the cold last night. You need to lighten up a bit.
