Attmpting to cool down a vehicle before putting children in it cost a Salina woman her SUV Thursday morning.
Ashley Yoder, 34, of Salina, started her silver 2010 Dodge Journey at 10:30 a.m. Thursday while it was parked in the 300 block of N. Phillips Avenue. She told police that the vehicle has an electrical issue and that she doesn't like putting her children in a hot vehicle, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.
Yoder went back in the residence to get her children and when she came out 20 minutes later, the SUV was gone, he said.
The SUV has Kansas license plate 825MWX and has damage to the driver's side tail light. The SUV is valued at $4,000, Forrester said.
