FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Former North Dakota Gov. Ed Schafer learned a lesson about his car keys after his vehicle was stolen as he hosted a Fargo radio show.
Schafer was guest hosting KFGO`s “News and Views” program Friday morning when police called the station to ask if he owned a 2020 GMC Yukon, the station reported.
It turns out that the SUV had been stolen out of the station’s parking lot. The thief apparently drove it to a probation office and surrendered to authorities, Schafer said.
The vehicle has a push-button start feature and requires a key fob to be in the vehicle before it can be operated. But Schafer had left a spare fob inside, enabling the thief to start it up and drive off.
The former governor and U.S. agriculture secretary says he`s been warned about being more careful.
“My wife for 31 years has said, ‘Why don’t you lock your car?'” Schafer said.
