By Heather Lockwood

Three vehicles were reported stolen Tuesday — two from Ypsilanti Township and one from Superior Township, according to the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Department.

Sheriff’s deputies assigned to Ypsilanti Township responded to a call for an unknown disturbance in the 1000 block of Chestnut Drive, south of Clark Road, at about 9:15 a.m. Tuesday. Deputies determined a man took the victim’s silver, 1999 4-door Dodge Stratus after an argument, according to a media summary.

The keys are with the vehicle, and the thief is known to the victim, according to the summary.

At about 9 p.m., deputies assigned to Ypsilanti Township responded to a call of a stolen vehicle in the 2000 block of Rawsonville Road, north of Grove Road, according to the summary. Deputies determined someone swiped a white 1998 4-door Chevrolet Lumina while it was left running in a parking lot. There was a cherry air freshener hanging from the vehicle's rearview mirror, according to the summary.

Deputies assigned to Superior Township responded to a call of a stolen vehicle in the 9000 block of Ascot Drive, east of North Harris Road, about 8:30 p.m., according to the summary. The victim had allowed someone to borrow a white 1999 4-door Mercury Mountaineer, but the person hadn't returned the vehicle within the agreed upon time frame, according to the summary.

Wow, that cherry air freshener should make the 2nd car easy to locate and recover. In all of these 3 instances, the keys were with the cars, and none were broken into while being stolen. Is there a teachable moment in here somewhere?
