NJ Transit Bus Stolen from Livingston Mall
Driver was taking a restroom break; bus found abandoned near Turtle Back Zoo.

New Jersey Transit officials are a bit baffled as to why someone stole a transit bus early Saturday morning at the Livingston mall.
Spokesman Dan Stessel tells us the driver of a bus on the 73 line, which runs between the mall and Newark, was at the mall for a layover at the end of a run. He had gone into the mall to use the restroom and when he returned... his bus had disappeared.
Police in West Orange located the bus about 20 minutes later, abandoned near the Turtle Back Zoo.
