As our readers know, the Owen Sound Hub's practice is to publish only those police reports that require action on the part of the public.  That includes reporting information, watching for missing or wanted people or stolen property, and being aware of habits that may put your own or others' safety at risk. This story alludes to all of the above. The first stolen vehicle was unlocked and had gifts in it - no word on whether those were recoverered, but watch Facebook and Kijiji sales for items reported stolen.  Here's the police release:

In the early morning hours of Friday December 16, 2016 a 2016 Dodge Caravan was stolen from  a residence in Owen Sound. That vehicle was located in the early morning hours of December 17, 2016 in the town of Meaford by the Ontario Provincial Police. The vehicle had been abandoned after becoming stuck in the ditch.
