Reportedly, the victim of the vehicle left their 2009 Chevy Silverado pickup unattended while warming it up.

Later that same day, the McPherson County Sheriff's Office located and recovered the stolen Silverado. SPD stated there was two adults and a juvenile occupying the vehicle.

No requested charges or identification of the suspects have been made at this time, due to which county they will be arrested in.

SPD would like to remind everyone to warm up your vehicles with a remote-start system and without a key in the ignition.
