A Winnipeg man in his 50s had a bad day after leaving the keys to his car in his ignition after he parked it in the 2300 block of Pembina Highway on Thursday night, August 24, 2017.
Just after 9:30 pm the man realized he had left his keys in his car and when he returned to get them he found some youth inside his vehicle. The youths began driving away as the man ran after his now stolen car and tried to open the front passenger door.
