Thief may want to stop for tuneup
MANKATO — Someone who wanted to travel south out of Mankato, but apparently didn’t have the means, decided to steal a car sometime Thursday morning.
Whoever it was, he wasn’t picky.
The victim reported the tan 1996 Saturn SL2 four-door sedan, with about 252,000 miles on its odometer, was stolen between 1:15 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Thursday. It had been parked at a residence in the 300 block of Spring Street.
Police suspect the car, with license plate 085-AZW, and its thief went south. That’s because someone found some of the victim’s personal items, which had been in the car, in a ditch near Madelia.
