Earlier this week in Portland, Oregon, surveillance cameras caught a woman stealing Erin Hatzi’s red Subaru. But there was something a bit off about the theft. “We were really confused because it didn’t seem like the normal actions of a car thief,” Hatzi said. “You wouldn’t think they’d sit there in idle in the owner’s driveway for two or three minutes.” The Subaru was soon returned, with an explanatory note that read as follows: “Hello. So sorry I stole your car. I sent my friend with my key to pick up my red Subaru at 7802 SE Woodstock and she came back with your car. I did not see the car until this morning and I said, ’That is not my car.’ There is some cash for gas and I more than apologize for the shock and upset this must have caused you…So so sorry for this mistake.“ Police told KGW that old Subaru keys sometimes work in multiple cars, so there you have it!
