A chemically induced brain fog wound up being the culprit behind a stolen vehicle report.
At 1 a.m. on Sunday, May 11, a 29-year-old man at Narcisse Street contacted police to report his vehicle had been stolen sometime over the previous four hours.
"The man believed the key had fallen out of his pocket, and confirmed he did not give anyone permission to drive his vehicle," said Salmon Arm RCMP media relations officer Const. Andrew Hodges in a news release.
Patrolling officers were unable to locate the vehicle. At 2 p.m., however, police found the parked vehicle with the owner inside.
"Police spoke with the owner who confirmed the vehicle had not been stolen, but he had gotten too drunk and forgot where he parked it," said Hodges.
