MINNEAPOLIS — A Minneapolis man is wondering how thieves stole his car from inside his apartment garage while he had the key.
Andy, who works at WCCO, says he left his Volkswagen Taos inside his Stevens Square apartment on Saturday night before going out to dinner. The following morning, he said his garage door opener was missing.
“I’ve heard of the Hyundais, the KIA, that sort of thing happening, you know, that’s a known issue. This was something I never expected,” Andy said. “My seat belt was buckled, even though there was nobody in it in the driver’s side, and then I saw that my middle console had been rifled through.”
Andy checked his VW car app, which showed his car had been driven 63 miles between the hours of 5 p.m. and 2 a.m.
“My doors were locked, I didn’t know how they could get through,” he said.
While Minneapolis police are still investigating, Andy went to social media for answers.
“Other people told me it had been happening to them or they’d heard of that happening,” he said.
