A report of a missing vehicle offered a relatively benign reminder not to leave keys in an unattended vehicle.

According to the Hays Police Department, a Hays resident reported his vehicle was stolen after parking in his driveway about 9 p.m. Thursday. The investigation did not last long.

“The owner discovered it missing,” said HPD Lt. Ron Rounkles, “and within minutes, the vehicle was located less than one block from his residence.”

There are no suspects. The vehicle was not damaged and nothing appeared to be missing.
