Stolen Kia Found in Poland After Good-Samaritan Stop as Erfurt 'Theft' Proves a Mix-Up

Police report the passenger was quickly found, with the thief still at large.

Overview

  • The passenger was released about ten kilometres away and was promptly located by responding officers, according to the couple and police.
  • Authorities later informed the owner the stolen Kia was recovered in Poland, and the automobile club ADAC is expected to handle its return.
