Quote:
A Missouri woman whose car was stolen took it upon herself to track down the suspects and filmed herself stealing her vehicle right back.

Danielle Reno, who has no experience as an investigator, hunted down the thieves based off purchases from her debit card as well as GPS from her cellphone, both of which were inside her Toyota 4Runner when it was stolen from a gas station.

In a remarkable display of amateur sleuthing, Reno, of Clay County, spent 48 hours on the tail of the carjackers, trying to find out where they were headed.
Hahahaha, she should be a P.I.

No explanation of how they stole her car at a gas station. Did she leave her keys in the car?

To make up for the stupidity of leaving keys in the car in the first place. The thieves weren't the sharpest knives in the drawer for making more than one transaction with the card(s) of the person they stole from either. If they'd withdrawn the daily max in cash once, they wouldn't be trackable.

It said they made debit card transactions, which means they used it as if it was a credit card. They probably couldn’t use it at an ATM because they didn’t have her pin number.

I have dreams where I do this but I also don't leave my keys in my car.

What are the odds that car thieves at a gas station would mention to the attendant where they were going next, and the attendant would remember?

Wow.

Why didn't she cancel the card?

Perhaps so that she could track it.

The first thing I think of when I see Clay County, Missouri, is Jesse James.
