Dude, Where's My Car?

A woman in Needham on March 23 had an argument with her boyfriend early one morning, and wanted her car returned home. The man driving the car had legal authority to drive the car, so she didn't want to report it stolen. Everyone agreed he would return the car in the morning. No charges were filed. http://patch.com/A-3mMK

Prescription for Arrest
