Tired of warning motorists not to leave keys in their cars, police laid charges against a car owner Wednesday after a vehicle was stolen earlier this week. Police said the car was stolen by three teenage boys early Monday morning and was retrieved after a high-speed chase near this Labrador town. The Mounties charged the boys, but also charged the car owner under the Highway Traffic Act for leaving the keys inside the vehicle. A rash of recent car thefts have elicited numerous pleas from police that people take better care of their vehicles. Police said they are tired of warning motorists to take their keys with them when they leave their vehicle.
People have to make a commitment to their town and stop being so cheap.
Police in Colombia, which authorities say has one of the world's highest rate of abductions, reported a total of 1,822 kidnappings last year. But police said the purloined statue in San Pablo was thought to be Colombia's first-ever kidnapping of a saint.
