Thief steals truck left running

The 47-year-old white male said he left his Ford F-250 truck running and unlocked in the parking lot of Presto’s convenience store while he slipped inside to get a cup of coffee.

Presto, the truck was gone.

The victim said the vehicle also contained some personal checks and some Hall County firefighters’ uniforms.

A clerk at the business told police that a white male who said his vehicle had run out of gasoline at the Gold Mine Used Car Lot had been hanging around the store that morning.
