By Patrick Sullivan | April 24, 2018

A car flagged by deputies after it was stolen from the YMCA parking lot near South Airport Road and Logan’s Landing was found hours later by police downstate.

A 61-year-old Traverse City man left his 1999 Mazda Protégé unlocked with the keys inside. When he came out of the athletic facility at 3:26pm Friday, the car was gone, says Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Lt. Chris Barsheff.

Deputies put out an APB and they learned at 11pm that the car had been found downstate; a 51-year-old man who was driving was arrested and is expected to face car theft charges in Livingston County, Barsheff says.
