Stolen car recaptured in stroke of luck
Cleveland Brown had a bad day when someone drove off in his 2005 Nissan Maxima that he left idling on Friday, but five days later luck would strike when Brown’s coworkers spotted the car on East Bay Street.
Live 5 News reports that they tailed the car and let police know, from their story:
“I just turned around and drove normal. I got on the phone with the policeman and I called them. They talked us all the way through and we followed them down East Bay not letting them know that we were behind them or anything,” [coworker] Kartika said.
