A man on Curtis Street called in to report that his vehicle had been stolen. He said someone took a white Honda Civic that was sitting in his driveway. The vehicle was last seen on Sunday and he did not realize it was stolen until Monday morning. The officer was unable to make a stolen vehicle report due to the fact that the man did not have any identifying paperwork for the vehicle. He said the vehicle was given to him by a friend and it was still registered to his friend's mom who passed away. He said he would try to contact his friend to try and get the vehicle information necessary to make a stolen vehicle report. The white Honda Civic has a sun roof, a broken passenger side mirror and a scratch of blue paint on the front bumper. Officers searched the area for the vehicle but were unable to find anything.
