Stolen Car Recovered in the Bronx

A car allegedly stolen from North Broadway overnight has been recovered in the Bronx, report Tarrytown Police.

On Jan. 30 at 7:25 a.m. a resident called police to report a possible car theft. The person had gone to collect their gray 1996 Acura Integra where they left it overnight in front of Patriot's Park on Route 9 when they found it missing.

Lieutenant William Herguth said the story has a good ending, as the stolen car was recovered several days later in the Bronx. He said the driver had something to do with helping to locating the car, but it was New York City PD who called local police with the discovery.

Acura Integras, in particular the 1994 model, ranked fifth in an August 2012 listing of the top most stolen car models in the U.S. for 2011, according to this Huffington Post article. The 1994 Honda Accord has had the dubious honor of topping the list of the most stolen car in the country since 1998.
