A 65-year-old Salina woman found her 2006 Saturn Vue missing after someone known to her visited her home to help her with her dogs.
Salina Police Department (SPD) Capt. David Villanueva said that the victim reported that after waking up from a nap around 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 5, the keys to her $5,500 Saturn and the car were missing from her home in the 200 block of N. Second Street.
"Then we found the vehicle up by 1846 N. Main Street," Villanueva said. "They haven't identified [the suspect] yet, but we'll be checking for video there too. Luckily, we got the car back for the lady."

Officers then returned the vehicle to the woman around 12:21 p.m., but the Saturn keys were still missing.
Villanueva said the woman had an idea of who the car thief could be, but SPD officers continue investigating the crime.
