Police said a West Virginia man stole his own car from a Woodbridge towing company's garage Saturday night.
Police responded to New Dominion Towing, at 14381 Pine Lane, at about 9:45 p.m. Saturday to investigate a burglary, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
A towing company employee told police that he had recently towed Geoffrey Allen Todd's vehicle and brought it to the company's lot.
Todd went to the garage Saturday night and tried to make contact with the towing company staff, but found that no one was there, said Perok.
So, Todd found his vehicle in the garage, opened the garage bay door and drove away in his car, police said.
Police obtained warrants charging Todd, 30, of 105 Bertelli Court in Martinsburg, W.Va., with burglary and defrauding a garage keeper.
He turned himself into police, Perok said.
Todd is being held without bond and his next court date is Sept. 4.
I always wondered what the charges would be in this situation.. But wow, - held without bail? Must be more to this story...
