Theft of Auto (6)

When: Sept. 29 between 6 and 7 p.m.
Where: McDonald's on Powder Springs Road
A "very hysterical" woman told police she parked 2003 Ford Explorer in the parking lot—doors locked, no windows down and no keys inside—and went in the restaurant. Five minutes later, she came out and her vehicle was gone. She said she made her car payments on time, and there was no loan on it. The woman's daughter had left her purse in the car. An employee saw the man drive the car off and said he didn't know the man. Surveillance didn't show the man, only the car turning out of the parking lot.
