Woman moans in man's back yard, steals his car

A man called 911 from a house in the 5500 block of Mills Road late Thursday night saying he could hear a woman moaning in his back yard. While he was on the phone the woman walked around to his front porch and he tried to ask her what was wrong. He told the dispatcher that the woman didn't tell him, but she climbed inside his car and drove away in it. As she left she struck his fence and his mailbox, he reported. Arriving officers found the woman nearby and charged her with criminal mischief, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and driving while intoxicated.
