A woman named Ashley told WKRN her car, the first she'd ever bought, was stolen, and it contained her children's car seats, her daughter's softball equipment and a purse. Another couple came outside their Bexhill Court home to a car that had clearly been broken into, with the panels beneath the steering wheel removed, a dead giveaway that the would-be thieves attempted to hot wire the car.
