VEHICLE THEFT
• A Chehalis woman called police at about 11:15 p.m. last night to report she had parked her newly purchased Honda Accord next to the residence on the 700 block of Southwest Moonlight Lane and two hours later discovered it was gone. Since the car was not yet transferred into her name, she was advised to have the registered owner contact police to report it stolen, according to the Chehalis Police Department.
• A motorcycle stolen from Olympia was recovered yesterday at the 400 block of Iron Street in Centralia, according to the Centralia Police Department.
SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES AT SCHOOL BUS STOP
• The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office took a report yesterday of an incident involving an exchange between a 13-year-old boy and a woman in a black sport utility vehicle at his bus stop in Rochester. It was about 6:30 a.m. when he was waiting for his school bus on the 9700 block of 180th Way Southwest and the Ford Explorer-type vehicle pulled up, the female driver spoke to the boy and said, you’ve missed your bus, why don’t I give you a ride, sheriff’s office Lt. Cliff Ziesemer said. “The kid said, no I didn’t, and they actually started arguing,” Ziesemer said. An arriving high school student asked what was going on, then the bus arrived and the woman drove away, he said. “The 13-year-old had no idea who this was and had never seen her before,” Ziesemer said. “So that’s kinda suspicious.” Extra patrol were expected in the area, he said.
AND MORE
• And as usual, other incidents such as arrests for warrants, shoplifting, protection order violation, driving with suspended license; responses for alarm, suspicious circumstances, collision on city street, collision on county road … and more.

maybe, just maybe…the new owner didn’t transfer the title like she was supposed to so the original owner just came and took it back…..LOL
Or maybe she doesn’t have a title because she still owed money to whom she was buying the car from and they got tired of waitng for payment, then repoed the car. I really don’t know though.
I can solve this one: the previous owner kept a second set of keys and simply got the car back and hid it somewhere, where he’ll part it out.
If she has the title why doesn’t she just transfer it and then report it stolen? Would only take like 10 minutes.
Wow you buy a car, it is not in your name yet and it gets stolen. So the original owner reports it and keeps your money? Who gets the insurance? Yikes what a bummer.
