Whoops
- Chicago police recovered a stolen car Sunday morning on the city’s Northwest Side — only to have the vehicle stolen again from the local police station.
Officers who responded to a call of a suspicious vehicle near the Sauganash Trail around 8:30 a.m. found a 2015 Chevy Suburban that had been reported stolen earlier in the day, according to a CPD spokesperson. Police towed the stolen SUV for further investigation at the 17th (Albany Park) Police District station, 4650 North Pulaski.
But it wasn’t long before Chicago’s criminal element sprung back into action. Shortly after 11 a.m., police realized the Suburban, which had been parked in the station’s sally port, was gone. Cops reviewed station surveillance video and discovered that someone stole the SUV from under their noses around 10:23 a.m.
Investigators aren’t sure how the thief managed to steal the car because police still have the vehicle’s keys, a CPD spokesperson said.
It happens. Short of flattening the tires or removing the battery, until it's in the fenced in lot, it can be re-stolen.
And sometimes, it isn't even safe in the tow yard. Learn for next time.

Hmmm... maybe someone had a second set of keys???!!!!
Protect your vehicle -- get a manual transmission.
If its in the Sally port it shouldn't go anywhere. A sally port is basically a garage. A closed garage. Wtf!
If the sally port doors worked, maybe they could have parked it inside, where it would be really hard to steal back. We used to park a recovered car so it couldn't be driven away and we also left the headlights on so the car couldn't be started. But I'm just a crusty old meany and don't want my stolen car re-stolen.
After we had our first impounded vehicle stolen we always pulled the plug wires. Makes it a tad hard to start.
Old Patrolman Trick #123456789...
Valve Stem Wrench?
Check.
Remove valve stems?
Check.
Envelope in the glovebox that reads:
"Hah! You found me!"
Of course all was duly noted on the tow case...
Shit-Head's sled?
Inventory the valve stems...
Especially when his homies are circling the
011 lot like sharks around a wounded seal
in their effort to snatch the car from
Police Custody.
Sgt. M.M. (Bless His Heart) and Cpt. J.D. used to nearly
rip a stitch laughing when we would drag assholes in from
the west lot for trying to snatch homie's car from Poleece
custody... They knew that something fun and magical
was going to happen very shortly.
When bosses who were damn good cops and fine human beings
were still to be found in 011.
Piss us off enough and we would
inventory your lug nuts too...
We somehow couldn't lay hands on a GM master key
for locking lug nuts.
Inventory the regular ones and put one locking lug
per wheel on just to make a statement.
Dude #1:
"WTF?"
Dude #2:
"Idunno?"
Dude #3:
"Disbulshit!"
Dude #4:
"Imout..."
Loosen the screws holding your life together.
One quarter turn at a time...
Good Times.
Never to be seen again.
nothing new here. The thugs have stolen cars from the tow yards and from police parking lots. In the old 007 we had a locked and fenced in area for recovered cars. Many times they would just cut the lock and one time rammed the fence and helped themselves to the cars. The city is too cheap to really secure these police facilities.
Maybe the owners didn't want to come get the vehicle because there was something in it and they weren't sure if cops had found it? Give some kid the extra keys and its gone. Story sounds fishy.
Here’s a crazy idea, have secure lots. You know, like the majority of the suburbs. Niles looks like a fortress. But maybe that would look to scary for the people of Chicago.
It happens?! Stolen from a sallyport? How the fuck did they get into an area which requires a key, keycard, or remote opening of the door from the desk, or from inside the sallyport itself? It doesn’t happen. While one can say who cares it’s just a car the bigger question is how someone got into a secure area of a police station and then escaped a secure area of a police station. This was either a department member cooperating with a criminal or pathetic negligence in the form of a door being propped open. It happens.
We still getting a paycheck?
Who cares?
Have you tried something called, "The Club?"
Ha ha ha!
Seriously, that sucks. Now that they have all those battery powered air compressors, maybe deflating one tire isn't a bad idea?
Unscrew the valve core, let the tire deflate, put it back in and put the cap back on. When you need the car again, take ten minutes to re inflate the tire.
Disconnecting the lead to the distributor cap has gone the way of the dial telephone and police revolvers.
perhaps park it in the Sally port or block it in by another squad car.
Who in their right minds would visit Chicago ?....
Who would open a business here ?
Education shit, crime thru the roof, taxes, regulations, laws, edits from betters....
Roving packs of feral savages. Smiling jagoff media assholes towing the line.
Plus..you have that toad looking mayor, with her bald head ass....
What a third world shithole the city and state has become.
Vote Democrat, more to come.
Believe was 1993. My partner and I chased a 18 yo north shore girl through about 6 different red lights before catching up with her. She MF’d us all the way into the station and in the station. We left her alone in the interview room to go and call her parents, but had no luck. We were going to give her a pass since It was her birthday and she was under the influence of something. We had the car keys. When we came back, she was gone , the car was gone from the Police lot and being the great Policemen we were that night, we deducted she had spare keys in her purse. Yes, I know, not great procedure, blah blah blah. But anyway, we put in slips, threw her keys on the roof of the station and went out drinking and cheered her birthday and her boldness.

Been gone for awhile, do they peel the steering columns anymore? G M always refused to beef up the steel on the column covers! Cheap fucks. Don’t want to cut into their profits, that’s why insurance is so expensive.....

Recovered a stolen car with the column peeled and “The Club” locked and intact, sitting on the passenger seat?
E.T.s were always too busy to process a recovery. Seemed like work! You have insurance......
I remember once long ago in 007, shithead drove right through the cyclone fence of the “secured lot” with his newly liberated car.
Couple of rottweilers on patrol would solve that problem.
Every newer vehicle has a fuse or relay that can easily be pulled for the starter, it’s under the hood look it up on YouTube or whatever type in the year of the car the make and starter relay fuse, it will tell you the exact location you don’t need any tools snap off a couple of plastic covers it will show you exactly where it is pull the fuse inventory it, simple as that.
Seeing as it was a Suburban, maybe the Ute was sleeping in the back under a blanket, woke up had to get back home to fill out his college enrollment paperwork.
The art of disabling a stolen car is now forgotten? Rookies.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Years ago we used to pull the coil off the distributor cap.
That way they couldn’t take the car.
Hmmmm...
and to have the extra set of keys to drive it away from the 017 lot that’s under video surveillance.
Now I axe’...who has black SUV, that is awful close to a certain proposed property that’s in sale contingency y’all been talking about up the on Rogers Ave, blocks away from a SauggieAss Trail & LaBagh forest preserves, lots of freaky-freaky going on.
Maybe another PrickWrinkle abandoned a CookCounty black SUV, November 2016 one was found loaded with KmmFxxx and CC judge Shoffner campaign distribution flyers and reported stolt and vandalized a week later.

“Niles PD building is a symbol of oppression.”
A white (black lives matter supporter) snowflake told me once. This lady was in her mid 30’s, neon blue hair, morbidly obese, severe identity crisis, super fugly and desperate.
Happened at Niles Fitness Center. I stay away from NFC for a week and half. YUK!
I’m sure it wasn’t parked in the sally port but on the driveway. The sally port has been broken for years. Besides who cares? Kim Foxx doesn’t punish criminals anyway.
Fake news ......... the vehicle was only a hazard tow. Thought it was involved in a shooting but it wasn’t. It was never reported stolen until after it was taken from the sally port. Fake news. Ag and vk are the bestest
That's why you leave it on the street. If they say they don't want a tow when they report it stolen then leave it where it was found. The order is clear on that, if they said they want a tow then wait at the scene for the tow. A P.O. should never drive a hot car into the station unless there is an arrest with it. Read the order. Oh and stay fetal.
We can’t use the impound garages because the boss’ personal cars are parked there
CPD cover stories to make this seem a normal everyday occurrence. Incompetence at its finest. What say you and Brown is this ok. What s next breaking so ron out of state action lockup? Why not just give the status on to biggest gang in area. Very non fetal criminals out there.
Good for them. The way I see it is they just gave the copper another 45 mins to peck out another report in the District. Still a coffee fund right? So whats the problem?
Gee from all the testimonials guess this is to be expected as a regular happening. If that is so why not better prepared. Can’t keep a recovered car safe how the hell should we expect you to keep city safe. Heads need o fall over this
On top of the shooting, killing and wilding we gave this example of Chicago’s finest. LOL asshats.
What better place then steal a car but a CPD station. Shows the level of respect they give you.
The only truth to this entire story is the vehicle was found abandoned by the sauganash trail. The spokesperson for CPD misspoke.
Where was the station security officer?
Who the heck is up at 10am ???
Pathetic that our lots are not secured and our desks are open to the public. Blue lives do not matter to the politicos in this city county and state.
Why not order an immediate tow and stay with the vehicle till the tow truck arrives?????? I've ordered immediate tows,try it !!!!!!
The police lots are not secured, the front lobby and desk are not secured, but GROOT has security around her house at 3434 w Wrightwood 24/7. UNBELIEVABLE
