The next morning they found the gate pried off the hinges and the Chevrolet missing so the notified the police.

Following the directional and audible cues from the PTC, the officers tracked the vehicle to the parking lot of a bank in the 3500 block of Jones. The Chevrolet had been abandoned and the property in the back of it had been stolen. The Chevrolet was recovered and returned back to the owners.
