Director of Public Safety & Security John Bowman said the owner of the car had left the car unlocked.
They have no further information or suspects relating to the incident.
“We looked at the cameras and stuff and we really can’t see anything on the cameras cause it happened at night,” he said. “And where the car was parked it was too far to really get a good view.”
The investigation is still open.
