A car stolen from a local retirement facility earlier in the month was found stripped Saturday morning west of Salina.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that deputies were sent to the 2100 block of W. North Street at 9:18 a.m. for the report of an abandoned vehicle. When they arrived, they found a 2004 Chevrolet Aveo that was missing its doors, bumper, and multiple items inside.

The owner, Katherine Tracy, 56, of Salina, told police that the car had been stolen sometime between May 7-10 from the parking lot at Reflections Retirement Resort, 626 S. Third Street, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester. A co-worker told Tracy that she noticed the car missing on May 10.

The vehicle, valued at $1,500, had a "Let Go. Let God" sticker on the rear bumper and a butterfly on the rear window, Forrester noted.
