NYC car thief takes 49-year-old parking lot worker for ride on hood in getaway, police say
Cops are looking for a car thief who snatched a vehicle from a Queens parking lot last week and rode off, even as the 49-year-old employee tried to hold onto the hood as he sped away, authorities said Sunday.
The thief walked onto the lot on Crescent Street around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, got into a white 2017 Kia sedan and started to drive away using the keys that were already in the vehicle, police said. The 49-year-old worker jumped on the hood to try and stop him and managed to ride the car a short distance before he fell off, suffering a minor injury to his leg.
The employee refused medical attention at the scene, but the thief got away in the vehicle, which had a license plate of UGD782 and an estimated value of $21,000.
