Three cheers for the internet!
On Saturday, Reddit user ericmoritz posted saying his wife's Kia Soul had been stolen from their house in Reston, Virginia, along with two handbags, a Macbook Pro and a Nexus 7 tablet.
Eric's post, in the Northern Virginia subreddit, garnered lots of discussion. But then Reddit user Brad, who goes by PikappDB on the site, said he had noticed a suspicious looking Kia Soul near his street.
Then Eric's wife Bella (artinmotion813) jumped in to the conversation, and lo and behold, the car was found, dumped about five minutes from Eric and Bella's house.
Eric told BuzzFeed News he posted on Reddit just to let people know a thief was in the area. "I didn't intend to launch a manhunt but Reddit being Reddit, I expected it," he said.
