Did they by any chance steal the car on Christmas Eve outside of Grace Episcopal Church during the Christmas Eve Service? Talk about sleazy, whoever did that one. Single mother, choir member, forgot purse in car, and after service they were gone. Purse and car both.
The car stolen was a silver Honda Civic
Well where are the charges for car theft which is what the headline states?
From http://www.stgeorgeutah.com/news/arrests/ looks like it was two brothers (they have the same last name) from La Verkin.
Yes, it is interesting that there are no auto theft charges. The ages coincide, and the charges mentioned, also coincide.
And yes, that is extremely despicable to steal a car from a church parking lot on Christmas Eve. Apparently, Marijuana impedes judgement somewhat. Who would have thought!
