I've recovered a couple hundred stolen vehicles, but never a stolen aircraft. I wonder if I use the same impound form. LOL! Seriously, glad everyone is in on this investigation. Wonder which group this guy might be connected to.

Let this be a lesson to everyone out there to not leave the keys in your airplane or some dumbass could just come and steal it.

Reminds me of the guy I stopped once for speeding. I said "Partner the way your flying around here let me see your pilots license"...Well turns out he was a licensed pilot and he handed me his pilots license. I laughed at myself for that one for trying to be the cool cop. Any way I gave him a warning, after he showed me his drivers license of course.
