A Salmon Arm woman paid a steep price for leaving her car running while she went back inside to get something.
On Nov. 16 at 7:45 p.m., the woman left her white Dodge Neon running in the driveway of a home in the 2400 block of 30th Street NE. When she came out of the residence, she watched the back of her car drive away. The licence plate on the vehicle is 174 LEG. The suspect in the theft is a white male wearing a green or blue shirt with black gloves.
