A Yazoo City woman was able to locate her stolen vehicle within 48 hours and less than a mile away from her home.

“It was so easy to find my vehicle within two days less than a half a mile from my home where it was stolen,” she said. “It wasn’t like I dug around with a fine tooth comb. But where were they?”
