Vehicle Reported Stolen Was Actually Hidden by Weeds in Yard - Dacula, GA Patch
Tall grass and weeds were to blame for a stolen vehicle report earlier this week.
A 78-year-old Dacula woman called police on May 14 to report that her deceased husband’s 1973 Chevrolet van was missing. The woman said the van, which is inoperative, had been parked in the front yard of her home.
The report was taken over the phone at the request of the complainant. During her conversation with the officer, the woman, according to the police report, “indicated that there were no signs of forced entry but was not entirely certain that the doors had been locked.”
Later that day, the woman called police to advise the vehicle had been located. An officer went to the residence to meet with the woman who explained the van had been parked in the yard the whole time.
