Stolen Go-Cart Found Years After Theft? Avon Lake Man Says Yes
About four years ago, an Avon Lake man reported his go-cart stolen. This month, he saw a similar looking go-cart for-sale online.

AVON LAKE, OH — The Internet is a strange, strange place. A local man's go-cart was stolen from him three or four years ago. He reported the theft to Avon Lake Police at the time, but nothing came from it. Then he did some web surfing.
The man found a go-cart that looks mightily similar to his stolen go-cart for-sale online. Detectives are investigating, but the 22-year-old Avon Lake man can't currently find ownership papers or the VIN number for the vehicle.
