(La Porte County, IN) - A man walking out of a hospital found his vehicle had been jacked up in the parking lot and one of his wheels taken.

 

Whoever did it has good reason to be nervous.

 

According to La Porte County Police, a 29 year old man was walking to his 2001 Chevy Blazer Monday night outside Franciscan Health.

 

His jaw must have dropped when he discovered someone had jacked up his vehicle and removed one of his front wheels. Whoever did it must have been in a hurry because they left behind the floor jack and four-way lug wrench used in the crime.

 

Police said the victim put on a spare tire and drove home then later contacted hospital security and the sheriff’s office.

 

So far, no arrests have been reported.

 

However, police said video footage of the theft and image of the suspected vehicle were captured from a hospital surveillance camera.

 

Investigators have been using the vehicle information obtained from the footage and checking license plate reading cameras throughout the area to try and track down the vehicle used in the theft and driver.
