    Default Man stopped by police for stealing his own van

    Man stopped by police for stealing his own van

    1 hour ago
    BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A Detroit motorist was stopped and handcuffed by police on suspicion of stealing what turned out to be his own van. Bloomfield Township Police Chief Kirt Bowden said he witnessed the traffic stop Monday from his office window and worried something was amiss when he noticed the van wasn't new and the driver appeared to be in his 70s.
    WJBK-TV in Detroit reported the motorist recently had spotted the van he reported stolen and was told by Detroit police he could take it back.
    Bowden said it appears the van still was listed as stolen in the Law Enforcement Information Network when the man was stopped by his officers about 15 miles northwest of Detroit.
    A Detroit police spokesman said the department is looking into the incident.

    I havn't heard of this charge yet. Does virginia have a law against using/taking/stealing your own van? I tried for hours looking it up and came up with nothing?

    That sucks, If he had the chance to not get in trouble I would't turn in my son. Yeah it would damm sure teach him a lesson because he wouldn't be able to get a license till he was 21 but I'd rather do that myself. It was the right thing to do and then it wasn't, its a whole different thing when its your own blood.
