Good luck

A Hermiston resident on Joy Lane reported someone stole his 1999 Chevrolet Corsica. The man went to Stanfield police and said he loaned the vehicle to a friend, and then police arrested that friend for driving intoxicated. The friend, then, loaned the car to another person who took it so it wouldnt be towed. The man wasnt able to provide names of the other men or locations where the events happened.

Sounds messy
