Found my Car. Was in downtown Kelowna. Acquired by street people, called cops and took over. No body damage but interior seems they had party the whole day inside the car. Thank you guys for sticking wid me finding this beautiful car.

It's not a party, it's a soup kitchen.

Are we sure it wasn't picked up by a predatory towing service?

Parked without a resident parking pass, in front of a hydrant or some other "no parking" area?

You might want to call the local tow companies.

I tried. No clue.

U leave it running? How was it stolen.

According to google, while newer cars can’t be hotwired they can still be hacked with specialized tools, or stolen with tow trucks. One of those is probably the case.

A 2012 Tiguan is not gettin towed for value. So that leaves 2 situations.

Op said they left their spare key in the car. I think the mystery is solved.

Solid move. Perhaps I’ll leave my wallet and Rolex in mine tonite.

[u/Few-Respect7726 → u/etoyoc_yrgnuh]

I am pretty sure it was locked. But I had the spare key inside the glovebox.

Broke in looking for stuff, found the key.

Edit: I'll keep an eye out.
